Sivatherium, the Beast of Shiva

(image source: https://novum-terram.fandom.com/wiki/Sivatherium_giganteum_(SciiFii))

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Laura Owsley discuss Sivatherium, a hoofed mammal that might have lived both before and a little after the Ice Age, which is impressive, since I can barely make it through winter in my apartment. From the Miocene to the Pleistocene, this 12-foot-tall giraffid looked like an okapi on steroids. Hey, how did it clean out its bowels? With a colonos-okapi! ...I’m going home now.

(side note: this episode was recorded before Bob Saget's death, so don't hate our joke at the end for being tasteless. Hate it for other reasons)
