Baluchitherium (or Balucatherium)

These gigantic early rhinos stood as much as 18 foot tall at the shoulder, and had long necks to lift their 5' long heads up to graze over 25' up in the trees; they were rather like massive, armored giraffes. The largest species were up to 20+ tons; if their tempers were anything like their surviving smaller cousins, these creatures would be very dangerous to disturb.
