Summary
DescriptionPalaeoloxodon falconeri (Sicilian dwarf elephant).jpg |
English: Mammuthus falconeri (Busk, 1867) - dwarf mammoth skeleton from the Pleistocene of Sicily. (public display, Nebraska State Museum of Natural History, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA)
This species is also known as Elephas falconeri and Paleoloxodon falconeri. From museum signage: "Marooned on Mediterranean Islands during the Ice Age, mammoths evolved into dwarfs. In just a few hundred years after the arrival of human hunters, dwarf mammoths became extinct. Notice the opening in the middle of the skull of this adult male. Ancient Greeks thought skulls like this belonged to a race of one-eyed giants called "Cyclops". The opening is actually for the nostrils. The real eye sockets are on the sides of the head." Classification: Animalia, Vertebrata, Mammalia, Proboscidea, Elephantidae Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site on the island of Sicily, Mediterranean Sea See info. at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palaeoloxodon_falconeri and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_elephant |
