An adult Paraceratherium compared to a modern adult White Rhinoceros
An adult Paraceratherium (AKA Indricotherium and Baluchitherium) from 30 million years ago is compared to a modern adult White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum). The Paraceratherium is 18 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 40, 000 pounds*, while the White Rhinoceros is 6 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 7, 000 pounds.
Paraceratherium is the largest mammal known to have walked the Earth and are from an extinct family of hornless rhinoceroses that ranged across North America, Europe, and Asia from 60 to 20 million years ago.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stark contrast between an adult Paraceratherium and a modern adult White Rhinoceros. The Paraceratherium, also known as Indricotherium and Baluchitherium, roamed the Earth approximately 30 million years ago, towering at an astonishing height of 18 feet at the shoulder and weighing a staggering 40,000 pounds. In comparison, the White Rhinoceros stands at a mere 6 feet tall and weighs around 7,000 pounds. Belonging to an extinct family of hornless rhinoceroses that inhabited North America, Europe, and Asia from 60 to 20 million years ago, Paraceratherium holds the title for being the largest mammal ever to walk our planet. This digitally generated image captures their immense size in remarkable detail against a white background. The photograph not only highlights the evolutionary changes over millions of years but also emphasizes how nature has shaped these magnificent creatures. It offers us a glimpse into prehistoric times when megafauna like Paraceratherium dominated landscapes with their colossal presence. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this artwork transports us back in time to witness these ancient giants side by side. It serves as a testament to both paleontology's fascinating discoveries and our ongoing quest to understand Earth's rich history.
