Vector illustration of Saegusaia brevirostris, a small amebelodont proboscidean from the early Miocene of China, laying down with its tail flicked up. This bizarre elephant relative has short shovel shaped jaw with long flattened tusks and a long trunk. It is mostly greyish and hairless like modern elephants, but has light brown fuzz on its head and back. Text reads: Saegusaia brevirostris. Shi-Qi Wang, Chunxiao Li, Xiaoxiao Zhang, and Yongtau Quan. "A new genus of amebelodonts from the Miocene of China and a re-examination of the phylogeny of Amebelodontiae."

The existence of the modern elephant shrew implies the existence of an extinct "platybelodon shrew", a shovel tusker that I have named the "shroop".

Screenshot of a tweet from Max Belomio that reads: "Platybelodon renders of the sculpt I did for @Beast_SculptKit" There are four pictures of a platybelodon action figure. Platybelodon was an ancient proboscidean with two upper tusks and two (I think?) that form a shovel tusk on the bottom.

Gorgeous artistic reconstruction of a possible scenario: split view of both underwater and above water where a platybelodon swims across the water, while an enormous megalodon approaches, jaws open.

One of my favorites by artist Julius Csotonyi: A #platybelodon
