Image title
Deinotherium - Deinotherium appeared in the middle Miocene and the genus fades in the lower Pleistocene. It probably looked like modern elephants, except that its trunk was shorter, its defenses were attached to the lower jaw (not to the skull), and they pointed downwards. Deinotherium is the third largest known terrestrial mammal ever; only Baluchitherium grangeri and Mammuthus sungari were larger. Males were generally 3.5 to 4.5 m tall to the shoulders, although some large specimens were able to measure up to 5m. Their weight was estimated to be between 5 and 10 tonnes and above 14 tonnes for the larger males. Deinotherium crosses the rolling plains of what is today Europe. A prehistoric relative of modern elephants, Deinotherium was larger and had a shorter trunk and downward-curving tusks attached to its lower jaw. Deinotherium is the third largest land mammal known to have existed; only Paraceratherium and some mammoths were larger. Deinotherium likely behaved like modern elephants and may have lived side-by-side with the early human ancestor Australopithecus
