Indricotherium
Indricotherium. Artists impression of a herd of Indricotherium (also known as Baluchitherium), extinct mammals that lived during the late Oligocene and early Miocene epoch, 20-30 million years ago. They belong to the same group as the modern-day rhinoceros. These herbivores evolved to become the tallest land mammals that ever existed, measuring up to 8 metres in height from head to toe and weighing an estimated 15, 000 kilograms

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's impression of a majestic herd of Indricotherium, also known as Baluchitherium. These magnificent creatures roamed the Earth during the late Oligocene and early Miocene epoch, approximately 20-30 million years ago. Belonging to the same group as modern-day rhinoceroses, these herbivores evolved to become the tallest land mammals ever recorded in history. Standing at an astonishing height of up to 8 meters from head to toe and weighing an estimated 15,000 kilograms, these gentle giants dominated their prehistoric landscapes. This artwork beautifully captures their primitive yet awe-inspiring presence. The illustration not only highlights their immense size but also emphasizes their role as herbivores by depicting them peacefully grazing on lush vegetation. It serves as a reminder of the diverse wildlife that once thrived on our planet millions of years ago. Paleontology enthusiasts will appreciate this stunning portrayal of Indricotherium, which offers insights into evolutionary biology and prehistoric mammalian life. As fossil vertebrates belonging to the perissodactyla order, Indricotherium represents a fascinating chapter in our understanding of ancient ecosystems. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable image for educational purposes only; it is not intended for commercial use. Let this artwork transport you back in time and ignite your imagination about Earth's rich past and its incredible inhabitants like Indricotherium – truly one of nature's most extraordinary creations.
