The Elephant That Was Bigger Than Every Non-Sauropod Dinosaur Ever

Today, elephants are the largest animals we have on land, pretty hardcore. And as is it turns, they actually used to be even more hardcore, with perhaps the craziest being the Paleoloxodon namadicus. This was a species of giant elephant that made any elephant today look small, and it was so big that it actually outsized ever non-sauropod dinosaur ever, with a few sauropods also being smaller than it. And it may come as a shocker, that this behemoth isn't even that ancient as it was stomping around in Eurasia less than 40,000 years ago.
