Ancient Elephants Were Kinda Ridiculous

Elephants are really weird, so I’m sure it’s no surprise that their ancestors were much the same. But even with this in mind, many Ancient Elephants were far stranger than you might expect. Like the Platybelodon, an elephant whose face looked closer to a shovel than anything else, or the Dwarf Elephant, a five foot elephant living on an island with giant lizards and colossal storks.

Fun fact, tapirs are more closely related to horses, hippos, and whales than elephants, even more wacky convergent evolution.

@Cree8Ball Жыл бұрын

That fact is pretty fun

Evolution is only a theory and just because it's being pushed in universities doesn't make it true. Universities also have an affinity for socialism and crazy race theory. Evolution is missing the most important thing which is in between species that bridge different species together and ZERO of these have ever been found but somehow scientists still try to push Evolution as fact

It's shocking how evolution can change beings and how genetic relatives of the elephant can look so different, while other genetically unrelated beings look so similar to the elephant. Also for this video, instead of finding florshes, I will encourage others to find them, mostly because I have looked for florshes in most videos. You can do it!
