Scientists have found a new rhino species. Not in Asia or Africa, where rhinos live today. This Arctic rhino species roamed northern Nunavut 23 million years ago. Back then, the Arctic was as warm as southern Ontario. 

The bones were buried in the permafrost, 1000 km above the Arctic Circle. That’s farther north than any known rhino.
