Day 22: Platybelodon grangeri

This Ambelodontid proboscidean was a strange relative of modern elephants from the Miocene of Africa and Eurasia, famous for their shovel-like lower jaws and extended lower incisors.

Because I felt randomly motivated I sketched all the Proboscideans from Keenan Taylor's Tales of Kaimere (even if none have appeared in the books yet)

Many wild Cucubrits, gourd family, are very bitter and toxic with tough rinds to ward off most herbivores except megafauna like Mastodons who's large size allowed them to tolerate the toxins. These proboscideans became an important seed disperser for many plants up to 10,000 ya

- other bears! This idea's supported by coprolites associated with Arctodus containing Juniper seeds, isotope data showing they ate some local large browsing herbivores, and bones of sloths and young proboscideans with possible Arctodus tooth marks! (2/2)

I am absolutely in for Genndy for making the proboscideans absolutely fucking enormous

Paleo Fact!

Platybelodon (Flat Spear Tusk) is a proboscidean from Middle Miocene Africa, Eurasia, and North America! It's probably most well-known for its distinct long, shovel-like lower jaw! It was previously thought that it'd use this- (1/2)

The HE Quarophant, a very large proboscidean with 4 tusks of the prairie that takes advantage of the Migratory behaviours of other large herbivores to exploit recourses and decrease predation from its only viable predators the dragon western Ladon and tyrant Great Montau.

Once in a while I have to remind people that is a thing. A very basal, surprisingly large proboscidean with melon head, sprawled legs, browsing habits and potentially sexual dimorphism. An absolute delight to draw.

Something nicer for a change: Moeritherium and Phiomia, two very early elephant relatives. had a proboscidean phase and insisted I draw some too. I just got myself together for long enough to finish them.

Today we had a very special We looked into the anatomy, ecology and phylogeny of one of the earliest and WEIRDEST proboscideans ever! It's a roughly tapir sized animal from the Eocene of Algeria, from the El Kohol formation. (1/many)
