Indricotherium - Paraceratherium was the largest land mammal ever, weighing four times that of a modern elephant and twice that of the largest known mammoth. It's head was small compared to its enormous body which was supported by three toes on each foot (much like the rhinoceros of today). Using two teeth on its upper jaw and two on its lower jaw, Indricotherium was able to graze on trees more than 26ft high. Remains have been found in Baluchitherium (Pakistan) which the animal is sometimes referred to as.

RANGE: Location: Roamed across Eurasia, with fossil remains found in China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, and parts of Eastern Europe
DIET - Herbivore (Plants / Trees)
SIZE - Stood around 4.8 meters (16 feet) tall at the shoulder, reached lengths of about 7.4 meters (24 feet), and weighed between 15 to 20 tons.
