DEINOTHERIUM, Creatures

Por um escritor misterioso

Descrição

Like modern elephants, Deinotherium has a deceptively human-shaped skull. Fossil finds may have inspired medieval myths of bipedal giants! At fifteen feet tall and weighing 8-12 tons, Deinotherium is twice as heavy as a modern African bush elephant! Deinotherium may have been hunted by prehistoric relatives of modern man. Their bones are often found together in arachaeological sites! Deinotherium is Latin for 'terrible beast.' This giant mammal is similar to modern elephants, but has a shorter trunk.
