This is a fossil metacarpal forefoot bone from the extinct European Soft Nose Rhinoceros Dicerorhinus hemitoechus.
Dicerorhinus hemitoechus was revered and worshipped based on the strength and fierceness of such a beast and the related difficulty and danger that was involved in killing one.
Dicerorhinus hemitoechus is believed to have been caused by their inability to cope with the climate that marked the close of the second interglacial period and the following colder climate which was better survived by the Woolly rhinoceros.

 Tiger Law Weekend - Declaration
The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), Sumatran rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) and Sumatran elephant (Elephas maximus sumatrensis) represent species of Indonesian large mammals that are threatened with extinction.
Law enforcement of wildlife crime is too weak, wildlife crime is not yet a conservation priority of the Government of Indonesia, and the majority of the Indonesian public are still unaware of the value of conserving our wildlife.
Invite all members of the Indonesian legislative, judiciary, local government, political parties, non-governmental conservation organisations, mass media, law enforcement agencies and the general public; to take an active role in fighting all forms of possession, poaching and trading in tigers, rhinos and elephants in Indonesia.

Because Indricotherium was very large, it probably needed a shaded or wet habitat to keep its body cooled; and 3) Chilotherium and Dicerorhinus coexisted at 6 Ma and isotopic analyses suggest that Chilotherium and Dicerorhinus shared similar feeding habits.
Dicerorhinus dentition suggests that it was a browser, and although Chilotherium had adaptations for grazing, it has been suggested that Chilotherium was not a true grazer.
