Dihoplus, an extinct rhino, and Paraceratherium, the largest land mammal of all time, who is also related to them. Seeing the amount of Perissodactyl fossils, I do wonder if they are slowly being replaced by the Artiodactyls, who can digest plants more efficiently with their four stomachs. We only have horses, tapirs, and rhinos left of their quite diverse order.
