Ancient Rhinos Were Basically Hippos?!

Turns out, those rhino fossils at Nebraska’s Ashfall Beds weren’t globe-trotters—they were total homebodies! Scientists just found out that Teleoceras major, an ancient rhino species, barely left their watery hangout. Isotope tests on their teeth show they stuck close to the same spot their whole lives, kinda like modern hippos. Forget epic migrations—these guys just chilled by the water, which explains why so many ended up fossilized together.
