Paraceratherium (also known as Baluchitherium, Indricotherium, Aralotherium, Pristinotherium, and Caucasotherium) is an extinct genus of hornless rhinoceros, and one of the largest terrestrial mammals that has ever existed. It lived from the early to late Oligocene epoch (34–23 million years ago); its remains have been found across Eurasia between China and the former Yugoslavia. Paraceratherium is classified as a member of the hyracodont subfamily Indricotheriinae. Paraceratherium means "near hornless beast", in reference to Aceratherium, a genus that was once thought similar.
