Fossils nose Villa were unearthed the Tibetan plateau is considered the oldest specimen of its kind yet found.Creatures lived about 3.6 million years - long before the same type of creatures roamed the North-East and the ice age that gripped Europe in the region.
The discovery team said the existence of a nose of the former supports the idea that icy hills of the Himalayas of Tibet was the cradle of the subsequent evolution, animals.The report appears in the journal Science.
"It is the oldest specimen ever found," said Wang Xiaoming Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, USA."There are at least a million years, or more than any other wool rhinos, we know.
"It was fairly well preserved - a little crazy, not the original form, but a complete skull and lower jaw are protected," he told BBC News.
Rhino is Zanda basseinis.Piirkond Tibet is one of the richest fossil beds, and these individuals have been discovered such a dead horse, antelope, leopard, badgers and many other mammals. Dr Wang and his colleagues say it shows some characteristics of very primitive compared to my colleagues, who later had a major glaciation Pleistotseeni maturity.
