Paraceratherium [SEP] Diet and feeding
The simple, low-crowned teeth indicate that "Paraceratherium" was a browser with a diet consisting of relatively soft leaves and shrubs. Later rhinoceroses were grazers, with high-crowned teeth because their diets contained grit that quickly wore down their teeth. Studies of mesowear on "Paraceratherium" teeth confirm the creatures had a diet of soft leaves; microwear studies have yet to be conducted. Isotope analysis shows that "Paraceratherium" fed chiefly on C3 plants, which are mainly leaves. Like its perissodactyl relatives, the horses, tapirs, and other rhinoceroses, "Paraceratherium" would have been a hindgut fermenter; it would extract relatively little nutrition from its food and would have to eat large volumes to survive.
