Description: Distribution and dispersal of Paraceratherium. Localities of the early Oligocene species were marked by the yellow color, and the red indicates the late Oligocene species. Dispersals of Paraceratherium between South Asia and other localities have to pass the Tibetan region, because most part of Central Asia, including southeastern Kazakhstan, Turpan Basin, and Tarim Basin was covered by the Tethys Ocean during the Oligocene.
