Indricotherium - full name: Indricotherium transouralicum, also called Baluchitherium) is a genus of giant extinct mammals that lived in Asia during the Oligocene. It belonged to the rhino family but did not have a horn like today's rhinos.

 

It was a herbivore that grazed the leaves and branches of tall trees. Fossilized bones of Indricotherium have been found in Central Asia.

Lacave: Prehisto Dino Parc - Prehistoric life

Near the small village of Lacave the "Prehisto Dino Parc" is a very nice walk in the heart of the forest. Along a long path with sounds and animated animals and organised with a fun and educational signage, visitors go to meet dinosaurs and discover the daily life of the first humans. The 150 life size representations will be a total immersion in the Jurassic and prehistoric era.
