I want one. and a saddle to fit it.
It appears to be a re-naming of the older nomenclature "Baluchitherium", which I read about in grade school, in a book by Roy Chapman Andrews.
Baluchitherium was discovered in Baluchistan, so naturally the CCP would have to re-name it in order to claim that the biggest mammal ever had lived in China, along the lines of what the old Soviet Empire used to do when they claimed they had the biggest, fastest, and firstest of everything... but it appears to me that the specimen re-named to Paraceratherium is just an average sample of the old Baluchitherium, re-named because, CCP.
Still, that's one big hoss. I want one.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
