Giraffe rhinoceros (Indricotherium giganteus) is a species of hornless rhino native to Asia that is descended from the prehistoric Indricotherium, which remained mostly unchanged. They resemble their ancestors, but they are 10% larger. They have no predators when they're adults, but the calves' predators are tigers, Asiatic lions, and leopards. They are also the second-largest living land animal, besides the giga elephant. They are named because people thought they look like a mix between a giraffe and a rhino. Because they are enormous, they can't be kept in captivity unless if they're in large pits with plenty of space and resources for them to have. They are also an endangered species due to humans hunting them for their bones and meat.
