I don't know why, but to me it looks like their eyes should be further back, closer to their ears, or maybe their ears are too far back. I assume that's why they went extinct.

That's where the wyes are located on surviving rhinos.They are technically a prey species, sohey didn't really need to see what was dead ahead of them, since they were foragers. No predator is coming at them from the front, so they really only need to see what is at their sides.
