Episode No. 60: Rhino Dino, Our newest addition to "team banter" is Erika Remus. We didn't know we needed a science-loving nerd on our team, but apparently, we do. Listen as we discuss the news of China's giant rhinoceros-type dinosaur or as we call it Rhino Dino.

Newly discovered giant rhino species was among largest mammals ever to walk Earth

A group of researchers found a new giant rhinoceros species from fossils dating back 26.5 million years in the Gansu Province of northwestern China.

According to findings published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Communications Biology, Tao Deng, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, and his team have recovered the skeletal remains of a giant rhino dubbed Paraceratherium linxiaense.

The researchers said the giant rhino is considered one of the largest land mammals that ever lived. The skulls and legs of a giant rhino are longer than those of all reported land mammals.
