elephantidae

This is one of the two living genera in Elephantidae.

Elephants and mammoths are both included in the family Elephantidae.

The woolly mammoth was probably the most specialised member of the family Elephantidae.

Molecular and morphological evidence on the phylogeny of the Elephantidae.

Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea.

The most important difference between Stegodon and (other) Elephantidae can be observed in the molars.

They were members of the family Elephantidae, which also contains the two genera of modern elephants and their ancestors.

They were a heavy breed similar to a Great Dane, perhaps of use in running down Elephantidae.

Some taxonomists consider the stegodonts a subfamily of Elephantidae.

This sequence has been used as an outgroup to refine divergence dates in the evolution of the Elephantidae.

Only one, the Elephantidae, remains.

The family Elephantidae existed six million years ago in Africa, and includes the living elephants and the mammoths.

Elephants belong to the family Elephantidae, the sole remaining family within the order Proboscidea.

A list of extant Elephantidae, excluding the extinct species of the two genera, includes:

Other members of Elephantidae, especially members of Mammuthus, are referred to by the common name mammoth.

The large number of mammoth bones at campsites make it clear that even then the Elephantidae in Europe were approaching the limit of their duration.

Family Elephantidae: (3 species), elephants (Africa, Southeast Asia)

Modern elephants - the actual family Elephantidae - evolved from gomphotheres as the climate became cooler and drier in the Pliocene and Pleistocene.

The genera Anancus, Morrillia, Paratetralophodon, and Tetralophodon were formerly classified as gomphotheres, but recent work places them as close relatives of the Elephantidae.

Although the fossil evidence is uncertain, by comparing genes scientists discovered evidence that Elephantidae and other proboscideans shares a distant ancestry with Sirenia (sea cows) and Hyrax.

Proboscidea is an order containing only one familiy of living animals, Elephantidae, the elephants, with three living species (African forest elephant, African bush elephant, and Asian elephant).

The steppe mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii or Mammuthus armeniacus) is an extinct species of Elephantidae that ranged over most of northern Eurasia during the Middle Pleistocene, 600,000-370,000 years ago.

The woolly mammoth belongs to the Elephantidae family, a taxonomic rank that includes the two species of modern-day elephants, and it lived during the Pleistocene period from about 5 million years ago, into the Holocene period, some 4,500 years ago.
