Paraceratheres, historically also called indricotheres and baluchitheres, are long-limbed and hornless rhinocerotoids belonging to the family Paraceratheriidae. Paraceratheres were native to Asia and Eastern Europe, originated in the Eocene epoch and lived until the beginning of the Miocene. They represent some of the largest terrestrial mammals to have ever lived.
