In this video, we will learn more about the tallest mammal to ever walk the earth: Paraceratheirum! The giant Paleogene behemoth arose from tiny early rhino ancestors and became the tallest land animal since the dinosaurs. However, it's sheer size that once gave it an evolutionary advantage may have been what cause their downfall. A combination of my own animations and gameplay footage from Prehistoric Kingdom was used to finally bring this animal back to life. We will learn more about how they lived and why they ultimately went extinct. Enjoy!
