DeinotheriumDR - Extended License by Dinoraul
Deinotherium giganteum was a gigantic prehistoric relative of modern-day elephants that appeared in the Middle Miocene and continued until the Early Pleistocene. Deinotherium is the third largest land mammal known to have existed. Males were generally 4.5 meters (15 feet) tall at the shoulders although large specimens may have been up to 5m (16ft). Their weight is estimated to have been between 10 and 14 tonnes. Deinotherium's range covered parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe. Deinotherium fossils have been uncovered at several of the African sites where remains of prehistoric hominid relatives of modern humans have also been found. Juvenile figure included.
