Indricotherium, also known as Paraceratherium to paleontologists, is a genus of rhino which lived approximately 33 to 23 million years ago during the Oligocene Period. It was first discovered during the early 20th century and was given the name Indricotherium – which means “Indric beast.” Indricotherium is one of the largest terrestrial mammals that ever walked the Earth. They were approximately 40 feet long and weighed around 20 tons. To put that size into perspective, that means it was about as long as a semi-trailer and weighed as much as 2 T-rex dinosaurs!
