Stephanorhinus kirchbergensis, also known as Merck's rhinoceros (or the less commonly, the forest rhinoceros) is an extinct species of rhinoceros belonging to the genus Stephanorhinus that lived from the end of the Early Pleistocene (around 800,000 years ago) until its extinction in the Late Pleistocene (surviving until at least 40,000 years ago and possibly later) in Eurasia. Its range spanned from Western Europe to East Asia. Among the last members of the genus, it co-existed alongside Stephanorhinus hemitoechus (the narrow-nosed or steppe rhinoceros) in the western part of its range.
