Paradiceros Explained

Paradiceros is an extinct genus of rhinocerotid that lived in east Africa during the Late Miocene, between 13.7 and 9 million years ago.^[1]

Paradiceros was a relatively small species once believed to be closely allied to Diceros. It was a browser and had very short legs, though not as short as some of the more primitive species like Chilotherium.^[2]
