Ramayana ,Mahabharata, Puranas about extinct Elephant Species | Four tusk Gomphotheres
In this YouTube video, we'll be discussing the fascinating creatures known as Gomphotheres and Stegotetrabelodons, both of which belong to the family Gomphotheriidae. These animals lived during the late Miocene and Pleistocene epochs, and have been studied by German Zoologists, as well as Charles Willson Peale. Fossilized bones and tusks have been found all over the world, including in South America, specifically in Argentine and Brazil.
Interestingly, the Chaturdantas, which are mentioned in Indian literature such as the Ramayana and Aranyakanda, are said to be inspired by Gomphotheres. These four-tusked creatures are said to have helped Rama, Lakshmana, and Hanuman build a bridge to Lanka, which is believed to be the Adam's bridge or Ram Setu bridge that connects India and Sri Lanka and...

Elephant
Elephantidae is a family of large, herbivorous proboscidean mammals collectively called elephants and mammoths. These are large terrestrial mammals with a snout modified into a trunk and teeth modified into tusks. Most genera and species in the family are extinct. Only two genera, Loxodonta (African elephants) and Elephas (Asian elephants), are living.

Extinct Elephant Relatives Gomphotheres Stompin’ Through the Marshes 3/24/23
Most people know about mammoths, but have you heard about the four-tusked elephant-relative,the Gomphothere?! During Dr. Jeanette Pirlo’s talk, we’ll examine a new 5.6-Million-Year-Old site in Florida with over 40 individual gomphotheres ranging from newborns, all the way to very old individuals.We’ll discuss their diet, compared to the diet of the other herbivores that shared the gomphothere’s habitat,and the structure of the population as well as potential competitive interactions with the rhinoceros, Teleoceras.Come and imagine what is was like stompin’ through the marshes with the Gomphotheres.

Up until 8,000 years ago there were many different types of elephants, with different tusk and trunk shapes. Most common of these living alongside modern elephants for many years were the four tusked elephants. Why did these elephants evolve? What did they use their tusks for? And why did they die out just leaving the two tusked elephants.

The Vedas and Puranas also mention these creatures, describing them as having existed during the Treta Yuga and Kali Yuga. The Ram-Setu Bridge has been mentioned not just in Indian literature but also in other parts of the world. For example, it is said that the bridge was used by the Khmer Empire in Cambodia to build their famous Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu, which was later converted into a Buddhist temple.
Engravings of Gomphotheres and other animals, including monkeys, hyenas, and deer, have been found on the walls of these temples. Other related creatures such as the Steppe Mammoth, Deinotherium, Mrigavyadha elephant, and Dwarf Elephant have also been mentioned in Indian mythology and texts such as the Matsya Purana.

Description

Further information: Elephant § Anatomy, and Elephant § Behaviour and ecology
Elephantids are distinguished from more primitive proboscideans like gomphotheres by their teeth, which have parallel lophs, formed from the merger of the cusps found in the teeth of more primitive proboscideans, which are bound by cementum.[6] In later elephantids, these lophs became narrow lamellae,[7] with the number of lophs/lamellae per tooth, as well as the tooth crown height (hypsodonty) increasing over time.[8] Elephantids chew using a proal jaw movement involving a forward stroke of the lower jaws, different from the oblique movement using side to side motion of the jaws in more primitive proboscideans.[9] The most primitive elephantid Stegotetrabelodon had a long lower jaw with lower tusks and retained permanent premolars similar to many gomphotheres, while modern elephantids lack permanent premolars, with the lower jaw being shortened (brevirostrine) and lower tusks being absent.[8] Elephantids are typically sexually dimorphic, with substantially larger males, with an accelerated growth rate over a longer period of time than females. Elephantidae contains some of the largest known proboscideans, with fully-grown males of some species of mammoths and Palaeoloxodon having average body masses of 11 tonnes (24,000 lb) and 13 tonnes (29,000 lb) respectively, making them among the largest terrestrial mammals ever. One species of Palaeoloxodon, Palaeoloxodon namadicus, has been suggested to have been possibly the largest land mammal of all time, though this remains speculative due to the fragmentary nature of known remains.[10]

Some authors have suggested to classify the family into two subfamilies, Stegotetrabelodontinae, which is monotypic, only containing Stegotetrabelodon, and Elephantinae, containing all other elephantids.[8] Recent genetic research has indicated that Elephas and Mammuthus are more closely related to each other than to Loxodonta, with Palaeoloxodon closely related to Loxodonta. Palaeoloxodon also appears to have received extensive hybridisation with the African forest elephant, and to a lesser extent with mammoths.
