The exact size of Paraceratherium is unknown because of the incompleteness of the fossils. The shoulder height was about 4.8 metres (15.7 feet), and the length about 7.4 metres (24.3 feet). Its weight is estimated to have been about 15 to 20 tonnes (33,000 to 44,000 lb). The long neck supported a skull that was about 1.3 metres (4.3 ft) long.
I used figure 1 of the article "An Oligocene giant rhino provides insights into Paraceratherium evolution" to try to measure the skull of Paraceratherium linxiaense in length (lateral view of skull) and height (lateral view of left ramus), and the skull is indeed very long based on the independent scale bars, measuring over 100 cm in length and ...
Holotype jaw of Forstercooperia (Hyrachyus/Uintaceras) grandis. Forstercooperia has been represented by many different species in the different reviews of the genus. [1] [4] [8] [9] In the first significant review, authored by Leonard Radinsky and published in 1967, found that many previous species were junior synonyms, and that only four species certainly in the genus were valid.

There are potential long-term side effects of semaglutide. These are rare. They include pancreatitis, acute kidney injury, gallbladder problems, increased heart rate, diabetic retinopathy, mental ...
The neck posture and feeding strategies of sauropod dinosaurs is a controversial topic. Andreas Christian and colleagues analysed the neck of M. youngi and found that when articulated in a neutral posture, the neck was almost straight, with a slight upward bend at the base and a slight downward bend towards the head. The base of the neck has ...
Hyracodontidae developed long limbs and long necks that were most pronounced in the Paraceratherium (formerly known as Baluchitherium or Indricotherium), the second largest known land mammal ever to have lived (after Palaeoloxodon namadicus [30]). The rhinos (Rhinocerotidae) emerged in the Middle Eocene; five species survive to the present day.
The diversity within the rhinoceros group was much larger in prehistoric times; sizes ranged from dog-sized to the size of Paraceratherium. There were long-legged, cursorial forms and squat, semi aquatic forms.
