Lo bhejane mkhulu wayehlala ePleistocene ngasekupheleni nase-Eurasia eyakhiwe. Yabekwa ngokwentela ku-oda iPerissodactyla, umndeni i-Rhinocerotidae kanye nohlobo oluphelile i-Elasmotherium.
Isici esiyinhloko salesi silwane kwakuwukuba khona kophondo olukhulu, olungamamitha amabili ubude, luwugqinsi olukhulu, mhlawumbe umkhiqizo we ukuhlangana kwezimpondo ezimbili ezinye izinhlobo zobhejane ezinazo. Lesi sici, ngokusho kwabanye ososayensi, singaba umsuka wangempela wendaba ye-unicorn.

Kwasungulwa ngokutholwa kwamazinyo ayo ukuthi kwakuyisilwane esidla imfuyo esikhethekile ekusetshenzisweni kotshani. Lezi zidlakela zeminyaka yeqhwa zaziphindwe kabili isisindo sezihlobo zazo, ngakho-ke kulinganiselwa ukuthi zazinesisindo esingamathani ayi-3.5. Ngaphezu kwalokho, babene-hump evelele futhi babekwazi ukugijima ngejubane elikhulu. Yize kunamalungiselelo amaningi edlule, muva nje kushiwo lokho lolu hlobo lwaphila kwaze kwaba okungenani eminyakeni engama-39,000 eyedlule. Kuphakanyisiwe futhi ukuthi wayekhona ngasikhathi sinye nabaseNeanderthal abangasekho nabantu besimanje.
Yize kungashiwo ngaphandle ukuthi ukuzingelwa kwabantu abaningi kungaholela ekuqothulweni kwabo, abukho ubufakazi obuphathekayo ngalokhu. Izinkomba zikhomba kakhulu ukuthi kwakuyinhlobo engajwayelekile, enezinga eliphansi labantu nokuthi yahlushwa yi ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu yesikhathi, okwagcina kudale ukunyamalala kwayo.

Funda kabanzi ngezinhlobo zamanje zobhejane kulesi sihloko.
Esinye seziphetho ezibaluleke kakhulu kulezi zifundo ukuthi obhejane banamuhla bahlukaniswa nokhokho babo eminyakeni engaba yizigidi ezingama-43 edlule kanye ne inyathi enkulu kwakuyizinhlobo zokugcina zalolu hlu lwasendulo lwezilwane.
Ezindabeni ezinjengalezi siyabona ukuthi izilwane azisimangazi nje ngokuba khona kwazo kwangempela, kepha futhi nokuvela kwezinganekwane nezinsumansumane okuthi, yize zivame ukuba nemvelaphi yazo ebukhoneni besilwane, ngokungeza izici ezinhle ezikhiqiza ilukuluku, eligcina likhuthaza isifiso sokufunda kabanzi ngezinhlobo ezigqugquzele lezi zindaba.
