    Actually, the largest rhino that ever lived was the Siberian Rhino (Elasmotherium sibiricum), paraceratheres are not rhinos, the word "rhino" applies only to the family Rhinocerotidae, paraceratheres are not rhinos because they are not in the family Rhinocerotidae, they are their own family, which is Paraceratheriidae, both rhinos and paraceratheres belong to the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea, where the correct word is "rhinocerotoid", just like the word "elephant" applies only to the family Elephantidae not the order Proboscidea as a whole, where the correct word is "proboscidean" as deinotheres, mastodons, gomphotheres, and stegodonts are not considered elephants and the word "armadillo" applies only to the family Dasypodidae instead of the order Cingulata as a whole, where the correct word is "cingulate", as pachyarmatheres, pampatheres, and glyptodonts are not considered armadillos.

      paraceratheriums is a rhino species
      Paraceratherium is an extinct genus of hornless rhinocerotoids belonging to the family Paraceratheriidae. It is one of the largest terrestrial mammals that has ever existed and lived from the early to late Oligocene epoch (34-23 million years ago). The first fossils were discovered in what is now Pakistan, and remains have been found across Eurasia between China and the Balkans. Paraceratherium means "near the hornless beast", in reference to Aceratherium, the genus in which the type species P. bugtiense was originally placed.

      @@chingyik123, actually, it's not, Paraceratherium is not a rhino, paraceratheres are a separate family from rhinos, "rhino" refers exclusively to the family Rhinocerotidae not the superfamily Rhinocerotidae, where "rhinocerotoid" is the correct word, just like "elephant" refers exclusively to the family Elephantidae not the order Proboscidea as a whole where "proboscidean" is the correct word and just like "armadillo" refers exclusively to the family Dasypodidae not the order Cingulata as a whole where "cingulate" is the correct word, therefore paraceratheres, amynodonts, and hyracodonts are not rhinos because they are not part of the family Rhinocerotidae just like deinotheres, mastodons, gomphotheres, and stegodonts are not elephants because they are not part of the family Elephantidae and pampatheres and glyptodonts are not armadillos because they are not part of the family Dasypodidae.

      @@indyreno2933 The superfamily Rhinocerotoidea, which includes modern rhinoceroses, can be traced back to the early Eocene-about 50 million years ago-with early precursors such as Hyrachyus. Rhinocerotoidea contains three families; Amynodontidae, Rhinocerotidae ("true rhinoceroses"), and Hyracodontidae. The diversity within the rhinocerotoid group was much larger in prehistoric times; they ranged from dog-sized to the size of Paraceratherium. There were long-legged, cursorial forms adapted for running and squat, semi aquatic forms. Most species did not have horns. Rhinoceros fossils are identified as such mainly by characteristics of their teeth, which is the part of the animals most likely to be preserved. The upper molars of most rhinoceroses have a pi-shaped (π) pattern on the crown, and each lower molar has paired L-shapes. Various skull features are also used for identification of fossil rhinoceroses.[27]
      The subfamily Indricotheriinae, to which Paraceratherium belongs, was first classified as part of the family Hyracodontidae by the American palaeontologist Leonard B. Radinsky in 1966. Previously, they had been regarded as a subfamily within Rhinocerotidea, or even a full family, Indricotheriidae.[28] In a 1999 cladistic study of tapiromorphs, the American palaeontologist Luke Holbrook found indricotheres to be outside the hyracodontid clade, and wrote that they may not be a monophyletic (natural) grouping.[29] Radinsky's scheme is the prevalent hypothesis today. The hyracodont family contains long-legged members adapted to running, such as Hyracodon, and were distinguished by incisor characteristics. Indricotheres are distinguished from other hyracodonts by their larger size and the derived structure of their snouts, incisors and canines. The earliest known indricothere is the dog-sized Forstercooperia from the middle and late Eocene of western North America and Asia. The cow-sized Juxia is known from the middle Eocene; by the late Eocene the genus Urtinotherium of Asia had almost reached the size of Paraceratherium.[22][27] Paraceratherium itself lived in Eurasia during the Oligocene period, 23 to 34 million years ago.[30] The genus is distinguished from other indricotheres by its large size, nasal incision that would have supported a muscular snout, and its down-turned premaxillae.[22] It had also lost the second and third lower incisors, lower canines, and lower first premolars.[27]
      The cladogram below follows the 1989 analysis of Indricotheriinae by Lucas and Sobus, and shows the closest relatives of Paraceratherium:[22]
      Hyracodontidae
      Triplopodinae
      Indricotheriinae
      Forstercooperia
      Juxia
      Urtinotherium
      Paraceratherium
      Lucas and colleagues had reached similar conclusions in a previous 1981 analysis of Forstercooperia, wherein they still retained Paraceratherium and Indricotherium as separate genera.[31] In 2016, the Chinese researchers Haibing Wang and colleagues used the name Paraceratheriidae for the family and Paraceratheriine for the subfamily, and placed them outside of Hyracodontidae.[32] Deng and colleagues confirmed previous studies with their 2021 analysis, suggesting that Juxia evolved from a clade consisting of Forstercooperia and Pappaceras 40 million years ago, with the resulting stock evolving into Urtinotherium in the late Eocene and Paraceratherium in the Oligocene. These researchers did not find Hyracodontidae to form a natural group, and found Paraceratheriidae to be closer to Rhinocerotidae, unlike previous studies.[17]

      @@chingyik123, "rhinocerotoid" is the correct word for members of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea, just like "proboscidean" is the correct word for members of the order Proboscidea and "cingulate" is the correct word for members of the Cingulata order, whereas "rhino", "elephant", and "armadillo" refer exclusively to the families Rhinocerotidae, Elephantidae, and Dasypodidae respectively, which explains why hyracodonts, amynodonts, and paraceratheres are not considered rhinos as they do not belong to the family Rhinocerotidae and instead belong the families Hyracodontidae, Amynodontidae, and Paraceratheriidae respectively, why deinotheres, mastodons, gomphotheres, and stegodonts are not considered elephants as they do not belong to the family Elephantidae and instead belong to the families Deinotheriidae, Mammutidae, Gomphotheriidae, and Stegodontidae respectively, and why pampatheres and glyptodonts are not considered armadillos as they do not belong to the family Dasypodidae and instead belong to the families Pampatheriidae and Glyptodontidae respectively.

      I'm not Paleontologist, but Paraceratheres and Hyracodontidae are considered Rhinos, not because aren't in family Rhinoceroid doesn't mean they are not rhinos. Glyptodons are large armadillo from Glyptodontinae family, and if you considered Glyptodons are not armadillos you should question to paleontologist community. Ghomphotheres, Mastodons and mammoths are not elephants?, same case as rhinos, not because they're not from Elephantidae family doesn't mean they are not elephant's. Sorry if this have some mistakes.

      @snf4567, fun fact: the term "woolly rhino" applies to the genus Coelodonta as a whole as there are four recognized species of woolly rhino: the Tibetan Woolly Rhino (Coelodonta thibetana), the Nihewan Woolly Rhino (Coelodonta nihowanensis), Beliajeva's Woolly Rhino (Coelodonta tologoijensis), and the Blumenbach's Woolly Rhino (Coelodonta antiquitatus).

    In british india , Bharat or India have 3 no.s rhinos specices. But after independent of Bharat only one great Indian rhino available .Other 2 like java and sumatran rhinos are extinct from Bharat due to excess british hunting.
    IF CHEETA REINTRODUCE IN BHARAT , SO WHY OTHER TO LIKE JAVA AND SUMATRAN RHINOS NOT RE INTRODUCE IN BHARAT
