Size comparison of the Sagauni 1 specimen, estimated to be 4.35 metres tall, compared to a human. Like living elephants, Palaeoloxodon namadicus is thought to have been sexually dimorphic, with males considerably larger than females, with the skull of a P. namadicus male found in the Godavari valley described in 1905 being a full 40% larger ...
Relative sizes of †Paraceratherium, †Elasmotherium, white rhino, Indian rhino, black rhino and Sumatran rhino compared to a human Life restoration of Moropus elatus. One of the largest known perissodactyls, and the second largest land mammal (see Palaeoloxodon namadicus) of all time was the hornless rhino Paraceratherium. The largest ...
Fully grown bulls of Palaeoloxodon recki, Palaeoloxodon antiquus, Palaeoloxodon namadicus and Chinese Palaeoloxodon grew substantially larger than living elephants, with mature bulls reaching or exceeding 4 metres (13 ft) tall at the shoulder and 13 tonnes (29,000 lb) in body mass, making them some of the largest known terrestrial mammals to ...
Palaeoloxodon namadicus: South and East Asia: The date 7330-6250 BCE was obtained from carbonaceous clay near Palaeoloxodon remains in the Baneta Formation of the Narmada Valley, India, suggesting survival into the Holocene, though no direct datation was taken from the bones. [6]
Phylogeny of recent and Late Pleistocene elephantid species, including Palaeoloxodon and mammoths, showing the hybridisation between African forest elephants and Palaeoloxodon, after Palkopoulou et al. 2018 "Man, and the elephant" plate from Hawkins's A comparative view of the human and animal frame, 1860 Skeleton of Mammuthus meridionalis at ...
In comparison to other Eurasian species of Palaeoloxodon, the parietal-occipital crest was only weakly developed (though more pronounced in males than in females) and does not come near the nasal opening, comparable to the condition in the African Palaeoloxodon recki. The frons (forehead region) of the skull is wide and proportionally flat ...
Palaeoloxodon namadicus: South and east Asia Undetermined. 7330-7030 BC [15] South American sabertooth: Smilodon populator: Eastern South America Competition with human hunters.

The species had a large body size, comparable to that of other mainland Eurasian Palaeoloxodon species. In contrast to most other Eurasian species of Palaeoloxodon (such as the European Palaeoloxodon antiquus and the South Asian Palaeoloxodon namadicus) the parietal-occipital crest in the forehead region of the skull is only weakly developed, similar to the African-West Asian Palaeoloxodon ...
