 | | "Indricotherium", a rhinoceros 5 metres high that lived in Asia about 30 million years ago, was thought to have weighed up to 30 tonnes. |
 | | Mikael Fortelius of the Finnish Museum of Natural History in Helsinki and John Kappelman of the University of Texas at Austin say the very largest Indricotherium, which is also known as baluchitherium, may have weighed between 15 and 20 tonnes, making it about as heavy as the largest mammoth. |
 | | For instance, the original high estimate of the mass of Indricotherium was based on a comparison with the modern rhinoceros. |
