Wanna See Something More Interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ_iLxygKjY&t=27s The video may not have been updated yet, but in case you noticed to small cuts towards the end of the video, I had to remove two small sections

"That still only counts as one!" -Gimli

The Trunk is the key to the Elephants massive size because, unlike other herbivores, elephants don't need long flimsy necks to reach the tops of trees. Elephants can grow larger and sturdier than non-trunk herbivores.
-
Can you imagine the damage caused when one of these giants went through a period of musth 💀
-
Thanos for scale
-
So Oliphaunts were REAL. Good job Tolkien
-
Interesting to see how the small Kiwi and Giant Elephant Bird are also more closely related to each other than to ostrich, just like the small forest elephant and Paleoloxodon Namadicus are more closely related to each other than to the modern African elephant.
-
It is hard to evaluate biggest size without a large data set because you might have a Shaq fossil or a Kevin Hart fossil. Need to account for intra-species size variability.
-
So basically, the Elephant and Rhino remain the two largest land mammals of all time.
-
Megafauna are so cool to learn about tbh. Wild how we now have much fewer giants around these days.
-
3:32 Mumei what are you doing standing with that Brontosaurus😂
-
Who would have guessed that there once was an elephant larger than T. rex.
-
"Look Mr. Frodo! It's an Oliphant!"
-
That there once again will come a truly huge specimen of the African Bush Elephant, is doubtful. Trophy hunters took out the biggest and healthiest specimens a long time ago. I do not think we will ever see anything like the 11 ton elephant that was killed in Angola in the fifties, ever again.
-
Missed opportunity to name it "Oliphauntus Mumakili"
-
I love how some other members of the Paleoloxodon genus were shorter than a human
-
I wonder why it grew so big in the first place? The theoretical arms race between Sauropod and Therapod Dinosaurs make sense but there were no titanic mammalian predators to force this size.
-
Grey as a mouse Big as a house Nose like a snake I make the earth shake As I tramp through the grass Trees crack as I pass With horns in my mouth I walk in the South Flapping big ears Beyond count of years I stump round and round Never lie on the ground Not even to die Oliphaunt am I Biggest of all Huge, old, and tall If ever you'd met me You wouldn't forget me If you never do You won't think I'm true But old Oliphaunt am I And I never lie
-
So, Yujiro vs giant elephant was based of this
-
Where that Thanos from Marvel, Joakim from Sabaton and Mumei from HoloLive in those size comparisons? I'm laughing my ass off right now XD
