The herd of Deinotherium now crosses paths with two Sivatherium maurisium. Who else could they come across in their journey?

Deinotherium, by Zdeněk Burian.

How do you solve a problem like Deinotherium? It was fairly basal, far removed from mammoths and mastodons, and it was enormous. What was it doing with those tusks anyway? It didn’t have the familiar upper tusks, instead going for a “goatee” of chin tusks. And did it have a proper trunk or a more tapir-like snout?

Burian gives us a familiar elephantine look, trumpeting for a proper view of that weird phizog. Our ancestors probably ran into those hook-tusked behemoths, and it must not have been pleasant.

Paleovember 2022, Deinotherium!

Surviving in Africa until about 1 million BC, this ancient elephant relative differed most obviously with its curving tusks coming out of its ‘chin’. While typically reconstructed with a very short trunk, current research points out that Deinotherium more than likely needed to drink without kneeling, hence a longer trunk.

Deinotherium. Their tusks always give them very strange-old-man vibes to me. It feels like the kind of beard a 70 year old biker would have.

Deinotherium

(temporal range: 15.97-0.773 mio. years ago)

[text from the Wikipedia article, see also link above]

Deinotherium is a genus of large extinct elephant-like proboscidean that appeared in the Middle Miocene and survived until the Early Pleistocene. Although superficially resembling modern elephants, they had notably more flexible necks, limbs adapted to a more cursorial lifestyle as well as tusks that curved downwards and back. In addition, their tusks did not emerge from the maxilla as in elephants but from the mandible. Deinotherium was a widespread genus, ranging from East Africa to the south to Europe and east to the Indian subcontinent. They were browsing animals with a diet mainly consisting of leaves, and they most likely died out as forested areas were gradually replaced by open grassland during the latter half of the Neogene.

Got bored at work so I drew a Deinotherium. Makes me miss the Megafauna I never had

#Deinotherium #Megafauna #Paleontology #I wish the group these guys and elephants are in were all alive today. So i could observe that level of diversity #Like the level of diversity the bat family has #I'll appreciate the Asain and African elephants while they're still here

A herd of Deinotherium eyes a group of bear dogs feeding on a carcass. This elephant relative may have gone extinct due to sudden climate change.

Since I was weirdly motivated to stick to a single theme for once, I sketched out every proboscidean so far revealed by Keenan Taylor for Tales of Kaimere, his speculative evolution anthology series. Tho none have appeared in any of the available stories yet. Honestly was a lot of fun, the hair on the Tuga, Khorobi and Highland Mammoth had been surprisingly relaxing.
