Straight-tusked elephant

The straight-tusked elephant (''Palaeoloxodon antiquus'') is an extinct species of elephant closely related to the living Asian elephant. It inhabited Europe during the Middle and Late Pleistocene (781,000–50,000 years before present). Some experts regard the larger Asian species, ''Palaeoloxodon namadicus'', as a variant or subspecies.
==Description==

One 40-year-old male was tall and weighed , while another from Montreuil weighed about and was tall. and had long, slightly upward-curving tusks.〔R. D. E. McPhee ''Extinctions in Near Time: Causes, Contexts, and Consequences'' p.262〕 ''P. antiquuss legs were slightly longer than those of modern elephants. This elephant is thought to have had an 80-cm-long tongue that could be projected a short distance from the mouth to grasp leaves and grasses. With this tongue and a flexible trunk, straight-tusked elephants could graze or browse on Pleistocene foliage about 8 m above ground.
