It appears to have been the largest ungulate in North America, rivaled only by Bison latifrons.

Struthio oldawayi the Olduvai ostrich, It inhabited the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania during the Early Pleistocene and was one of the largest ostriches ever, weighing approximately 275 kg ( Made by me)

Its femur measured about 40 cm in length, longer but less robust than those of Pachystruthio , Some authors suggest that it could be a veeeeeery big S. camelus.

They may also have inhabited Kenya, probably.

Mylohyus nasutus the long-nosed peccary, it was one of the largest peccaries in the Americas weighing up to +67 kg, It inhabited the forests of the eastern USA during the Pleistocene and probably became extinct in the early Holocene ( by me )

Unlike Platygonus, this one appears to have been a solitary animal. Remains of these peccaries have been found in caves that seem to have belonged to Homotherium serum

Nesorhinus philippinensis, the Philippine rhinoceros, inhabited the island of Luzo from the Middle Pleistocene (+700,000 years ago) until probably the Late Pleistocene until about 50,000 years ago ( by me )

Here compared to a Tamaraw (Bubalus mindorensis) the biggest wild land mammal in Luzo , Up to 300kg.

N. philippinensis was similar in size to the modern Javan rhinoceros, weighing just over a ton, but it differed in having a small hump and a more elongated body.

It was one of the many giant Suidae of the Pleistocene of Africa ( I could not find a reliable formal estimate of size) it is believed that adults had some immunity to predation.
