is not only the biggest elephant ever but it is likely the biggest land mammal to exist as well. The damn thing is like twice the height of a modern elephant. They died out around 24,000 years ago which sure seems like a long time but compared to the big dinosaurs, we basically just missed them. I imagine if they existed today, the space between their tusks would be a pretty sweet place to set up a hammock. Just watch out for that trunk, its a tickler.Commissioned by
