Palaeoloxodon falconeri is a great example of the crazy size disparity that can occur within the same genus. I didn't know this extreme was possible for mammals https://t.co/x52Tj8s0aH

Its size is an example of insular dwarfism, whereby lineages become much smaller than "average" when restricted to small habitats like islands. As you can see, I gave P. falconeri a coat of short hair/fur, giving it more of a mammoth-like appearance.
