Somebody uploaded this illustration of prehistoric mammal PARACERATHERIUM, and, to show just how doggone HUGE they were, had drawn a tactical jeep drawn behind it. HOLY TOLEDO, did this image knock me out-this friggin' thing was GINORMOUS, like 3 stories tall!
I could not BELIEVE an animal had ever been so darn GIGANTIC, and I said to myself, "I have GOT to see photos of the fossil skeletons of this thing! Went online and right away found some...but I have to say, if these exhibits have anything to show, it's that the illustration exaggerated JUST a bit- While still very large, it was CLEARLY more like the height of two adults than the TOWERING depiction on facebook.
Maybe this particular exhibit was smaller than average? Read up to find a more general apporximation of its size, but nope, it seems all details on Paraceratherium show him to be about two and a half humans high.
Still huge, but a bit of a letdown.
