platybelodon
fact fileplatybelodons grew roughly 7 feet high and 11 feet and sometimes could grow even longer and weighed 4 tonnes. platybelodon was a herbivore and its strange looking mouth was maybe for digging out vegetation and it would have also would have been used to strip bark off trees and it would helped dig out water and drink a lot of it. this weird looking elephant was related to modern day elephant and would probably have similar skin colour. another reason for its trunk was maybe to sometimes carry its babies.
