  1. family mastodontidae

    Family Mastodontidae, commonly known as mastodons, is a group of extinct species of proboscideans (a family that includes elephants) that lived in Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe from the Miocene to the Holocene periods. They are characterized by their large size, long, curved tusks, and teeth adapted for browsing on trees and shrubs. Despite their resemblance to woolly mammoths and elephants, they are not closely related to these species. Their most distinguishing feature is the conical projections on their molar teeth, a characteristic which earned them the name mastodon, meaning "breast tooth" in Greek.
