The Bavarian terror elephant is an extinct long nosed animal belonging to the Deinoteridae family. It lived during the Early Miocene and Middle Miocene periods and was distributed in Africa, Europe, and Asia. The body size of this animal is similar to modern Asian elephants, with a shoulder height of about 2.7 meters. Unlike modern elephants, the Bavarian terror elephant does not have long upper teeth, but instead has a pair of downward curved lower teeth. These long teeth may be used to grab food or move tree branches.
