Richard Vaughan+Follow12M-Year-Old Rhino Herd Found in Nebraska!Did you know Nebraska was once home to rhinos? 🌋🦏 About 12 million years ago, a herd of *Teleoceras major* rhinos met their fate under volcanic ash from Yellowstone. Researchers found they lived non-migratory, hippo-like lives. It's fascinating to think of these ancient giants roaming the Midwest! #Nebraska #Paleontology #RhinoHistory #FossilFinds #Science18217Share

Michael Flores+FollowAncient 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. Nature is wild! #FossilFinds #PrehistoricLife #ScienceNews #AshfallFossilBeds #RhinoHistory #Science1060Share
