There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Here is a new paper about the body mass of giant Paraceratheriinae:

Body mass of the giant rhinos (Paraceratheriinae, Mammalia) and its tendency in evolution - Shijie Lia Qigao Jiangzuo and Tao Deng - 2022.

Citation: Our estimate suggests that Dzungariotherium sp. from Lingwu is one of the largest giant rhinos known, with a body mass of 20,558 kg.

So, the debate about the largest land mammal of all the times is not yet closed! In fact, i am starting to consider that the largest land mammals could have weighted between 25000 and 30000 kg for the largest specimens. But it is just a statistical guess for the moment.
