The length & height of the species[edit]

The article mentions the species being 5 meters in length & 3 meters in height. I tried & failed to find any information on the length & height. Most papers (in English) just describe the teeth & skull of the animal. Can anyone that can read Spanish or Portuguese have look in papers published in those languages?

Unfortunately many papers in Portuguese that are available also only mentions the dental material or fragmentary bones. The work that described the material of Xenorhinotherium (Lessa, G. M. (1993). Estudo descritivo de Xenorhinotherium bahiense Cartelle & Lessa e comparação com outras espécies de macraucheniidae (litopterna, mammalia. Anuário do Instituto de Geociências, 16, 137-137) doesn't have any complete pdf version. In any case, this paper from 2020 [1] says that "Both X. bahiense and M. patachonica have similar size, although their morphological differences rely on rostral anatomy, and on the robustness of vertebrae and appendicular skeleton".--Rextron (talk) 05:06, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
