“Mirror, Mirror, on the wall…

Who’s the Biggest One of All?”  We wouldn’t ask if We were not the answer, right? Right. Indricotheres! the largest land mammals that ever lived: Indricotheres!!!! 15 million years of success, give or take some million.

Indricothere 2-1

(Please recall that when We count to four We get unsure of ourselves. We are haphazard statisticians.) 

We weighed in at about 16 tons, more or less or more, and stood 18 feet at the shoulder. The picture gives you the idea. No horns. We worked our way across Asia and Asia Minor, ambling around the seas that were popular Back Then. Eating whatever greens Nature provided. Dietary Flexibility: an R Family tradition.

We offer some Mongolian decor, to help you remember our stomping grounds. Indricotheres ‘retired’ 20 million years before the first Mongol picked up a paintbrush, but We needn’t get fussy… It’s the Big Picture, right?
