Palaeoloxodon namadicus

Palaeoloxodon namadicus is an extinct species of prehistoric elephant known from the Middle Pleistocene to Late Pleistocene of the Indian subcontinent, and possibly also elsewhere in Asia. The species grew larger than any living elephant, and is one of the largest known proboscideans alongside the mastodon "Mammut" borsoni. Some authors have suggested P. namadicus to have been the largest known land mammal based on extrapolation from fragmentary remains, though these estimates are speculative.
