Paraceratherium is an extinct genus of hornless rhinocerotoids within the family Paraceratheriidae. It ranks among the largest terrestrial mammals known to have existed, thriving from the early to late Oligocene epoch, approximately 34 to 23 million years ago. Initial fossil discoveries were made in present-day Pakistan, with subsequent findings across Eurasia, spanning from China to the Balkans. The name Paraceratherium translates to “near the hornless beast,” referencing Aceratherium, the genus to which the type species P. bugtiense was originally assigned. Due to incomplete fossil records, the exact dimensions of Paraceratherium remain uncertain; however, estimates suggest a shoulder height of around 4.8 meters and a length of about 7.4 meters. Weight estimates range from 15 to 20 tonnes. Supported by a long neck, its skull measured approximately 1.3 meters in length and featured large, tusk-like incisors and a nasal incision indicative of a prehensile upper lip or proboscis. The animal's legs were characterized as long and pillar-like. Paraceratherium likely led a lifestyle akin to modern large mammals such as elephants and rhinoceroses, with few predators due to its size and a presumably long gestation period. As a browser, its diet would have consisted primarily of leaves, soft plants, and shrubs. It inhabited diverse habitats, from arid deserts with sparse tree cover to subtropical forests. The factors contributing to its extinction remain speculative, with various hypotheses proposed.

Giganotosaurus carolinii, meaning "Giant Lizard of the South," was a massive carnivorous theropod dinosaur that lived during the mid-Cretaceous (Cenomanian stage) in what is now Argentina. Measuring 12–13 meters long and weighing 7–8 tons, it was longer—but less bulky—than Tyrannosaurus rex, making T. rex heavier overall.

As the top predator of its ecosystem, Giganotosaurus hunted large herbivorous dinosaurs, including iguanodontians, rebbachisaurids, and young titanosaurs like Andesaurus. Its partial skeleton (about 70% complete) was discovered in the Candeleros Formation in Patagonia, and it remains the largest known theropod from South America.
