The dwarf elephant P. tiliensis from the Greek island of Tilos was suggested to have survived as recently as 3,500 years Before Present (around 1500 BC) based on preliminary radiocarbon dating done in the 1970s, which would make it the youngest surviving elephant in Europe, but this has not been thoroughly investigated.

Leg skeleton of the modern elephant. The hind limb and foot of the elephant are oriented semi-plantigrade, and closely resemble the structure and function of the human foot. The tarsals and metapodials are arranged so as to form an arch, similarly to the human foot. The six toes of each foot of the elephant are enclosed in a flexible sheath of ...
Being able to interact with such a realistic 3D model would mean that calculations would have to be performed within the constraints of a frame rate which would be acceptable via a user interface. Recent research has been able to build on previously developed models and methods to provide sufficiently efficient and realistic simulations.
The straight line generated from a double logarithmic scale of metabolic rate in relation to body mass is known as the "mouse-to-elephant curve". [24] These relationships of metabolic rates, times, and internal structure have been explained as, "an elephant is approximately a blown-up gorilla, which is itself a blown-up mouse."
This skeleton shows that even at this early ontogenetic stage that the skeleton was robust, much more so than comparable hatchling ostriches or rheas. [15] The eggs of Aepyornis are the largest known for any amniote , and have a volume of around 5.6–13 litres, and a length of approximately 26–40 centimetres (10–16 in) and a width of 19 ...
At Disney’s D23 event this past weekend, Skeleton Crew star Jude Law revealed that although he plays a Jedi on the eight-episode series, it’s all about the kids.
ZygoteBody, formerly Google Body, is a web application by Zygote Media Group that renders manipulable 3D anatomical models of the human body. Several layers, from muscle tissues down to blood vessels, can be removed or made transparent to allow better study of individual body parts. Most of the body parts are labelled and are searchable.
