Mastodons: Extinct Elephant Relatives

Описание: Mammutids, or to give them their common name, Mastodons, were a successful family of Proboscideans that first diverged during the Late Oligocene in Africa. Possessing flatter skulls, shorter legs and longer torsos than modern elephants, Mastodons were animals that stuck to a mostly browsing ecological niche. Their molar teeth had tall peaked crowns which were used for crushing branches, leaves and twigs. During the Early Miocene, the group spread widely across Eurasia and North America, with the genus Mammut surviving in the latter region until the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. A mixture of climate change and human hunting played a part in their extinction.
