Paraceratherium is an extinct genus of hornless rhinoceros. More info at the link, but what is interesting to me is that this was a mammal, which led me to this interesting Wikipedia page on The Largest Prehistoric Animals.
A comment at the via for the photo led to this (paywalled) New Scientist article explaining that the secret to the large size of the dinosaurs was their unusually lightweight bones (remember they are ancestors of birds) - others, of course, were semi-aquatic.
The illustration is watermarked to Vitamin Imagination.
Nothing about their poop and its dimensions?
