It arose from rhino ancestors that were a lot smaller, but Paraceratherium would take a different evolutionary path. Believe it or not, it actually became so big that it probably got close to what scientists think might be the actual upper limit for a land mammal.
The illustration of Paraceratherium used in the thumbnail is by Dmitry Bogdanov!

"It's not the horn that makes rhino a rhino"
My whole life was a lie and my day is ruined
kinda is rhino means nose, like in rhinoplasty. he just means the nose isnt prevelent in the rest of the rhino fam - which took its name from modern times
In Dutch rhino's are called nosehorns so i got scamed my whole life to
Don't be ashamed or anything on the other hand you have upgraded the brain you know more your brain is a muscle so the more you know the better, and each time you make a mistake you improve. *the more you know*
A lot of the naming and what we commonly know about animals predates much of the biological knowledge we have of them as we've only really seriously been studying animals scientifically for the past couple of centuries and we're still learning new things all the time, so there's tons of surprising stuff like this we're finding out all the time that changes what we previously thought we knew

underrated comment
this is something my nana would say at a family dinner, I mean she had a triceratops as a girl
how did you ride your paracentherium around? I made mine a saddle but couldn't manage to get onto it since my ladder wasn't tall enough :/
@@liliesstarlight i personally used to have a rope around his neck i would use to climb him
There has been so much attention paid to dinosaurs but I find the animals that lived before and after the dinosaurs equally fascinating and they should receive more attention.
Yep there needs to be movies about that, both before and after
Definitely, as should the animals we have around today, we don't want future generations to be wondering what it would have been like to live with them.
@@Tenchi707 there have been a couple documentaries but they are quite old
They'll only get attention when they demise 😂
And there were at most a small hand full of non-sauropod dinosaurs that were typically more massive than these beasts. Maybe 3 species. Maybe none.

@@BestOfAnimalss theory is it has to do with oxygen levels. More oxygen means bigger animals
@@BestOfAnimalss i think its because earth environment at that time was a little bit more 'different' compared to today, since evolution is basically the environment changing how our body works
@@BestOfAnimalss that’s only for Arthropoda. But it can still be true
More oxygen=more plants =more food=more size
that's what she said.
@@ninetoedlizard6650 I think insects is the only living thing that will get bigger in size if the level of oxygen is increasing, not quite sure tho
“We call this animal (sciencey name)”
I call this animal horseapotamus
Elegiraceros
Hippopotamus means water horse (in some translation I don't know which), and it (according to Google translate) means zoology. So would that mean zoologyhorse, or horsehorse.

Can't even begin to imagine the millions of worlds out there in the universe with stories just as rich as ours!
@@danielrodrigues4903 Apparently, there's a lack of phosphorus which would result in a paucity of worlds with life.
However, given the billions of planets (and moons) in our galaxy, even if only a small percentage have a decent amount of phosphorus, that still means that, as you said, there could be millions of worlds with complex life on them.
Also, it might be in the future that either our descendants, or another advanced species, finds a way to spread useful chemicals around the galaxy.

Yah never know though. A moose just minds its own business grazing, until it's horny, and then it kills anything within seeing distance in a fit of horny unbridled rage.
Remembering how tall a giraffe is and understanding this was even taller and much larger overall is mind-boggling.... and then you remember it wouldn't be a very big dinosaur 😂
Excluding the largest sauropods, this rhino would have been one of the biggest animals in the Mesozoic.
Maybe if in the Cenozoic predators had become as large as the big theropods (at least over 2 tons), then some herbivore mammals would have become even larger than Paraceratherium despite mammalian biological disavantages.
I don’t know why I watched this but it gives me a nostalgic feeling like I’m in elementary school again. I like it
I can't be the only one who wishes dog-sized rhinos still existed.
Ur not my guy... That would be one of the best things on earth

“It was about the size of a dog”
*do u have any idea how little that narrows it down*
I'd reckon whenever an animal is described as dog size, they are talking wolf or coyote size dogs, not tea cup chihuahua's.
Horses also vary in size...
nice batman reference haha
Yeah I hate when dogs are used as vague measurements. I immediately think of everything from chihuahua to mastiff sized
@@Altakita a chihuahua sized rhino is something I wanna see

Really nicely made, thank you! Loved the presentation too :)

Bro we are more powerful than them
If teachers taught like this school wouldn't be so stressful
It’s not always the teachers fault. Sometimes the students won’t listen and disrupt the class
@@liamthecrusader5056 but that's not what I'm talking about I'm talking about teachers who just hand you a 6 page packet and tell you to finish before the end of class
@@benjaminvanscyoc3561 There's a reason for that. Read my reply to @Awesome Sauce. That's the easiest way for a teacher to keep kids busy (by giving them packets). You don't understand how hard it is to teach. I think parents should accompany their kids into the class every day from k-5 until middle school, to keep their kids focused and well-behaved so that the teacher can actually put together this kind of presentation. It's crazy that in America people just drop off kids with all kinds of behavioral problems 20-30 in one tiny classroom with one underpaid teacher and expect quality education. What if we fill your house with 20+ four to nine year-olds? And with technology, especially since the pandemic, it's even worse. Kids have zero patience and attention span, they would have interrupted this video before it started playing. Why is it taking long? What are we watching? How long is this going to be? My computer don't work! I need help! All of this is yelled constantly at the same time, everyday for one adult to handle.
@@liamthecrusader5056 As a first-year teacher, I agree 100%. Kids are kids; they just are not ready for this kind of learning. They would have interrupted this video several times. Only an adult will appreciate this kind of content. We need to completely restructure the U.S. k-12 education system. Kids are so bad that they really should not be pushed onto underpaid school teachers, where they disturb everyone else's learning all day. All it takes is one problematic kid, and there are always several in most classrooms. If you have just one discipline problem in your class, then that means that you will spend half the time yelling and this takes valuable time away from the other kids who did nothing wrong and wanted to learn something.
People that aren't teachers do not understand the stamina that kids have. You can tell them to stop and they immediately start something else that is disruptive, and they will push you until you are mad just to see if they can get away with things. It's hard to focus 20+ kids on the same thing. One of them is bound to be disinterested. Under 15 years needs to be one-on-one learning to avoid disturbances that happen when you throw 30 kids in one classroom with one underpaid teacher for 8 hours. But parents will never accept that - they want the kids out of their house most of the day. School in the U.S. is more a babysitting institution than a place of learning. That's why homeschooled children tend to perform well and excel into college/university. There aren't 20 other screaming kids interrupting their learning, they work one-on-one which means they can go at their own pace (faster or slower if necessary), and the parents are in a position to give their own kids the best education available to them because they care more than a stranger. I think homeschooling is the way to go if you care about your child's education. Don't believe me, walk into any public classroom (with the principal's permission of course) and see for yourself. You will be mad at how far behind your kid will fall in public school.
But I also agree that this is how teaching ought to be. This is exactly how college/university education goes, back-to-back-to-back interesting lectures for an entire semester, while encouraging critical thinking using essay assignments rather than the k-12 packets or multiple choice instruments, which teach almost nothing other than selecting the correct choice is all you need to do. You might as well prepare every k-12 student for a life of being a cashier with that teaching style. The problem is that we have the best higher education system in the world but we do not make it the easiest path for everyone to take (massive student loan debt, rising tuition costs, etc.), while having one of the worst k-12 education systems in the world, which is what everyone has to work with. So, anyone that makes it to college/university will receive this quality of education, if not better (these videos are for a general audience), but most people never make it there and only finish high school, which amounts to nothing intellectually significant.
@@En_Gho that's because kids don't have any respect for a teacher who doesn't make them want to learn. I had a teacher in 8th grade he made us want to learn because he made things interesting we had projects and videos and no one complained about it because he earned everyones respect because he wasn't so up-tight and grumpy
Earlier mammals looked more freaky.
Idk you can’t get more freaky than a giraffe

God, I loved walking with the beasts
i remember watching that documentary when i was little and it was so good.that’s what got me into palaeontology and i wanted to re watch it for the nostalgia but they took it off netflix :(

"it looks like getting big is a strategy that will never go out of style" you can say that again bro
*America has entered the chat* :P
@@egregius9314 haha cheese burgers go brrrr
Since evolution has no foresight, getting big (which provides a number of advantages to the individual but has some nasty costs to the species) is a common thing in evolution. Hence why most lineages of animals start off small but gradually include bigger animals.

Amazing! Super and refreshing content and presentation!
It actually looks a lot like a modern rhino from the illustrations you shared, it just doesn’t have a horn. I can definitely see how they’re related.
"It was actually a kind of Rhinoceros, though you probably couldn't tell by looking at it"
All the drawings of it up to this point look exactly like a Rhino if it had the proportions of a Giraffe.
to be fair, he did say he didn't know a rhino could be a rhino without a horn
Granted those drawings are likely based off the discovery that it was a rhino, i.e. they made it look like a rhino, it may not have even looked like one when they lived
imagine how impressive it would be to see paraceratherium stand on its hind legs.
Insert Jurassic Park theme here.
They do move in herds
I doubt it would be able to
Pls no. I'm already scared of imagining one near me.
Maybe it could easy face to face Brachiosaurus
It can also soak bullets quite efficent and you can build different builds on its platform saddle to drop towers, chandeliers and deathwalls
The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere may also play a significant role in ultimate size potential.
Unlikely: atmospheric oxygen has varied relatively little in the interval, and the largest organisms to ever exist are alive today, and mammals.
How about a higher CO2 level than today as well as higher temperatures, to enable vigorous growth of plants and rapid regeneration once herds of herbivores had demolished them, like herds of elephant do today. After all, commercial growers pumps extra CO2 into their hothouses to promote growth.
the largest organisms to ever exist are alive today? Orgaanisms? Most dinosaurs and even mammals back when the oxyghen concentration and insects were way larger
@@trl2151the blue whale is the largest organism to ever exist (as far as we know)

Well done, Blake. 👍
Y'know I'm pretty positive that animals such as Giraffes, Elephants, Zebras, and other african animals evolved to have longer gestation periods so their babies are born more developed than most and can walk and run very soon after being born. This is because of the large predators that roam their habitats.
That's literally what the video said
@@tfthief4931 oh, did it? I must've missed it.
@@tfthief4931 not really, it mentioned that the babies need to grow faster, but it directly suggested that the gestation period is long due to the larger placenta, and the rapid growth seems like it is after birth
That’s exactly why. Most of the months are also for the brain development
