Deinotherium

---

Illustration of Deinotherium, a pachyderm that lived during the Miocene, from Louis Figuier's The World Before the Deluge, 1867 American edition. Deinotherium had a shorter trunk than modern-day elephants, and downward-pointing tusks that it may have used for bending tree branches or stripping bark.
