Paraceratherium Figurine Toy, Hornless Rhinocerotoid

This is a 6" painted resin figurine. Paraceratherium is an extinct genus of hornless rhinocerotoid. It is one of the largest terrestrial mammals that has ever existed and lived from the early to late Oligocene epoch (34–23 million years ago). The first fossils were discovered in what is now Pakistan and remains have been found across Eurasia between China and the Balkans. Paraceratherium means "near the hornless beast", in reference to Aceratherium, the genus in which the type species P. bugtiense was originally placed.

The exact size of Paraceratherium is unknown because of the incompleteness of the fossils. The shoulder height was about 15.7 feet, and the length about 7.4 meters (24.3 feet). Its weight is estimated to have been about 33,000 to 44,000 lbs. The long neck supported a skull that was about 1.3 meters (4.3 ft) long. It had large, tusk-like incisors and a nasal incision that suggests it had a prehensile upper lip or proboscis (trunk).
