Deinotherium

Extinct genus of elephantlike mammals. Tusks were developed from the lower jaw instead of the upper as in modern elephants. The skull was more primitive, and the bulk much more vast, than in the living elephant. Deinotheres have been found in the Miocene and early Pliocene strata of Europe and Asia.
