The largest mammal that is ever known to have lived was Paraceratherium, also known as Indricotherium. This animal can be described as a large hornless rhino with an elongated neck and head relative to its body. Paraceratherium had a height of 5.5 m (18 ft), over 8 m (27 ft) in length without the tail, the ability to raise its head 7.5 m (25 ft) over the ground, and a skull length of 1.35 m (4.5 ft). In comparison, the largest land mammal today, the African Bush Elephant, has a height of only 3.5 m (11.5 ft). The tallest giraffes match the height of Paraceratherium, but it weighed 5-10 times more -- estimates range from 10 to 20 tonnes.

There were some massive marsupials who used to hang out in Australia. Wombat the size of Range Rover, Kangaroo that could jump over Uluru, shit like that.

p.s Kremmen, does your wife share the family tendency towards plumpness?
 
Yes, if I'm especially good she lets me clean her folds with disinfectant and dust talc on her bedsores.
She's not a beauty like her mother though.
