Its tusks have been known to reach 2.7 m (9 ft) in length, although in modern populations they are most commonly recorded at a length of 0.6–0.9 m (2 ft 0 in – 2 ft 11 in). [1] The average walking speed of an elephant is 7.2 km/h (4.5 mph), but they can run at recorded speeds of up to 24 km/h (15 mph). [2]
Assuming it was about 20% larger, Larramendi calculated an extrapolated femur length of 1.9 metres (6.2 ft) and a speculative size estimate of 5.2 metres (17.1 ft) tall at the shoulder and 22 tonnes (49,000 lb) in body mass, which if correct would make P. namadicus possibly the largest land mammal ever, exceeding even paraceratheres in size.
