Rhino — Paraceratherium
The relatives of modern rhinos, Paraceratheriums, were mentioned in old Russian fairytales and legends because their habitat was located right between China and the Balkans. Moreover, the fairytale creature not only shows up in history but also in the cinematography — battle vehicles from the Star Wars movie saga were almost fully copied from the image of this ancient mammal.

Which version of that Fairy Tale book? It's been selectively re-edited dozens of times for convenience.

The artist that did the imagined extinct animals is amazing.
They all have such perceived personality for animals that have never been seen.

I have one big problem with this post. The ancestor animal is not always a direct ancestor, but an extinct relative of the present animal.

I love how most of them were giants with massive sharp teeth and evolved into weird sh#theads.
