Elephants Evolved from FOX!!

Did you know elephants had fox-sized ancestors? Let’s travel through 60 million years of elephant evolution in under a minute! [Early Proboscideans] First up: Eritherium – the earliest proboscidean, about 60 million years ago in Africa. Tiny, fox-sized, but the ancestor of giants! [Semi-Aquatic Era] Then came others like Moeritherium, which may have been semi-aquatic, almost like a hippo-elephant mix. [The Miocene Boom] Fast-forward to 19 million years ago – Gomphotherium shows up. With long jaws and tusks, they spread from Africa to Eurasia, then North America! [Modern Elephant Family] By 10 to 8 million years ago, the Elephantidae family appears. Out of them came mammoths and today’s elephants. [Diversification & Extinction] Mammoths, mastodons, and giant Palaeoloxodon roamed the Earth. But climate shifts and human hunting wiped most of them out by the end of the Ice Age. [Modern Elephants] And now, only three species remain: the African bush elephant, African forest elephant, and Asian elephant. From fox-sized to Earth’s largest land animals—what a journey!
