Whilst in Miocene and Pliocene times this Suborder was represented by a very large number of different forms, it is now so deficient in species and individuals that it must be supposed to be in a more or less decadent condition. This group is now restricted to the African and Indian regions, but in former times they were spread over all Europe, Asia, and America. One of them (R. tichorhinus), a native of Europe and N. Asia, was invested with a coat of thick woolly hairs, just like its contemporary, the Mammoth.
