Deinotheriidae

Deinotheriidae is a family of prehistoric elephant-like proboscideans that lived during the Cenozoic era. They first appeared in Africa during the Oligocene then spread across Europe and the lower latitudes of Asia during the Miocene epoch. Their most distinctive features were their lack of upper tusks and downward-curving tusks on the lower jaw.
