Paraceratherium-Scale-Diagram-SVG-Steveoc86.svg

Summary

Description	English: A scale chart comparing the estimated size for the largest Paraceratherium remains to some humans. • Paraceratherium redrawn from Larramendi 2016 (Appendix 1, AG). There are no complete Paraceratherium specimens, and the largest individuals are known from fragmentary remains (AMNH 26168/75). Therefore, there is some uncertainty as to the estimated body size. ^[1] Paraceratherium has been illustrated here with a small proboscis , suggested by its retracted nasal openings. ^[2] • Humans scaled to 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) and 160 cm (5 ft 3 in) respectively.
