    12:00 Also, keep in mind, an injury even as minor today as a broken bone could prove lethal in the stone age.
    And even if the injury doesn't kill you outright, it could permanently disable you.
    While humans probably had occasional trials hinting very large animals, they would have stuck to hunting more manageable prey on a regular basis.

    One reasor why very large animals tend to become extinct easier may be that the larger an animal is, the longer it takes to reproduce. This makes them vulnerable to environmental changes.

    “Humans came across the animal often,” is such a profound statement. It’s hard to realize what others perceived, that which I’m unable to today. But there will always be humans unable to perceive what past humans once could. Same for the reverse. Time is weird.

    Modern elephants seem to have survived the same dangers, including "hungry humans", that palaeoloxodon may have experienced. But they stayed in subtropic and tropic regions of the world.

There’s also some alleged remains of very large (more than 15 tonnes) P.antiquus specimens, but they’re debatable atm.

    For anyone confused, Great Britain is the largest island of the British Isles. In this context the CC is using GB correctly.

    For some reason I really like when dwarf elephants (or pocket elephants as I call them) are reconstructed with fur. Make them look even more cute and cuddly.

    If the african forest elephant is more closely related to the straight-tusked elephants, then shouldn't L. Cyclotis, L. Cookei, and L. Adaurora belong to a separate genus (Mesoelephas), while L. Africana, L. Atlantica, and L. Exoptata would be retained within Loxodonta.
