It arose from rhino ancestors that were a lot smaller, but Paraceratherium would take a different evolutionary path. Believe it or not, it actually became so big that it probably got close to what scientists think might be the actual upper limit for a land mammal.
The illustration of Paraceratherium used in the thumbnail is by Dmitry Bogdanov!

    @@benjaminvanscyoc3561 There's a reason for that. Read my reply to @Awesome Sauce. That's the easiest way for a teacher to keep kids busy (by giving them packets). You don't understand how hard it is to teach. I think parents should accompany their kids into the class every day from k-5 until middle school, to keep their kids focused and well-behaved so that the teacher can actually put together this kind of presentation. It's crazy that in America people just drop off kids with all kinds of behavioral problems 20-30 in one tiny classroom with one underpaid teacher and expect quality education. What if we fill your house with 20+ four to nine year-olds? And with technology, especially since the pandemic, it's even worse. Kids have zero patience and attention span, they would have interrupted this video before it started playing. Why is it taking long? What are we watching? How long is this going to be? My computer don't work! I need help! All of this is yelled constantly at the same time, everyday for one adult to handle.

    @@liamthecrusader5056 As a first-year teacher, I agree 100%. Kids are kids; they just are not ready for this kind of learning. They would have interrupted this video several times. Only an adult will appreciate this kind of content. We need to completely restructure the U.S. k-12 education system. Kids are so bad that they really should not be pushed onto underpaid school teachers, where they disturb everyone else's learning all day. All it takes is one problematic kid, and there are always several in most classrooms. If you have just one discipline problem in your class, then that means that you will spend half the time yelling and this takes valuable time away from the other kids who did nothing wrong and wanted to learn something. People that aren't teachers do not understand the stamina that kids have. You can tell them to stop and they immediately start something else that is disruptive, and they will push you until you are mad just to see if they can get away with things. It's hard to focus 20+ kids on the same thing. One of them is bound to be disinterested. Under 15 years needs to be one-on-one learning to avoid disturbances that happen when you throw 30 kids in one classroom with one underpaid teacher for 8 hours. But parents will never accept that - they want the kids out of their house most of the day. School in the U.S. is more a babysitting institution than a place of learning. That's why homeschooled children tend to perform well and excel into college/university. There aren't 20 other screaming kids interrupting their learning, they work one-on-one which means they can go at their own pace (faster or slower if necessary), and the parents are in a position to give their own kids the best education available to them because they care more than a stranger. I think homeschooling is the way to go if you care about your child's education. Don't believe me, walk into any public classroom (with the principal's permission of course) and see for yourself. You will be mad at how far behind your kid will fall in public school. But I also agree that this is how teaching ought to be. This is exactly how college/university education goes, back-to-back-to-back interesting lectures for an entire semester, while encouraging critical thinking using essay assignments rather than the k-12 packets or multiple choice instruments, which teach almost nothing other than selecting the correct choice is all you need to do. You might as well prepare every k-12 student for a life of being a cashier with that teaching style. The problem is that we have the best higher education system in the world but we do not make it the easiest path for everyone to take (massive student loan debt, rising tuition costs, etc.), while having one of the worst k-12 education systems in the world, which is what everyone has to work with. So, anyone that makes it to college/university will receive this quality of education, if not better (these videos are for a general audience), but most people never make it there and only finish high school, which amounts to nothing intellectually significant.

    Y'know I'm pretty positive that animals such as Giraffes, Elephants, Zebras, and other african animals evolved to have longer gestation periods so their babies are born more developed than most and can walk and run very soon after being born. This is because of the large predators that roam their habitats.
