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 ...
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 ...
The "Moscow mandible", holotype of E. sibiricum Elasmotherium was first described in 1808-1809 by German/Russian palaeontologist Gotthelf Fischer von Waldheim based on a left lower jaw, four molars, and the tooth root of the third premolar, which was gifted to Moscow University by princess Ekaterina Dashkova in 1807.
The skull is about forty centimetres long, the neck thirty, back and hip about seventy-five. Should the tail double the length, we arrive at 290 centimetres.-- MWAK ( talk ) 17:36, 8 November 2017 (UTC) [ reply ]

The largest odd-toed ungulates are rhinoceroses, and the extinct Paraceratherium, a hornless rhino from the Oligocene, is considered one of the largest land mammals of all time. [4] At the other extreme, an early member of the order, the prehistoric horse Eohippus, had a withers height of only 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in). [5]
