Abstract in brief

  • The study introduces a new species, Paraceratherium linxiaense, from northwestern China, providing insights into the evolution and distribution of giant rhinos during the Oligocene period.
  • Morphological and phylogenetic analyses show that P. linxiaense is a highly derived species closely related to P. lepidum, and their lineage with P. bugtiense suggests a geographic expansion from Central Asia into the Tibetan region.
  • During the late Oligocene, the Tibetan Plateau had areas of low elevation, allowing the giant rhino lineage to disperse across the eastern coast of the Tethys Ocean and neighboring lowlands.]
