The almost complete skeleton of Baluchitherium, the largest land mammal discovered from Dera Bugti, Balochistan. Prominent French Paleontologist Jean-Loup Welcomme discovered the fossils of the mysterious giant. The skeleton suggested that the giant creature was five-meters tall and weighed 20 tonnes, almost as massive as the size of three very big elephants!

A veteran artist, Asim Mirza, beautifully carved a one-tenth scale model of the Baluchitherium. By his own resources, Mirza has also been working on a life model of Baluchitherium since the past five years and is now on the verge of completing it.
