Im Juli 2015 wurden in Risch-Rotkreuz ZG ein Stosszahn und verschiedene weitere Knochenfragmente (rot markiert) eines adulten Mammutbullen entdeckt. Ausweislich zweier Radiokarbondatierungen gehören die Knochen an das Ende der letzten Eiszeit bzw. in die Zeit um 15‘000 v. Chr.<br>

Mammoth tusk

This is probably my most precious travel souvenir; it's a Balinese statue we brought back form Indonesia. It did not survive the plane check-in very well and suffered a bit of damage. If you look at the scan data carefully, you can see cracks here and there. The fingers and a tusk also broke during the trip home. Every time I see this statue, I’m transported back to the streets of Ubub.

Family: Elephantidae

Kingdom: Animalia

In general, Asian elephants are smaller than African elephants and have the highest body point on the head. The tip of their trunk has one finger-like process. Their back is convex or level. Indian elephants reach a shoulder height of between 6.6 and 11.5 ft, weigh between 2,000 to 5,000 kg, and have 19 pairs of ribs. Their skin colour is lighter than that of E. m. maximus with smaller patches of depigmentation, but darker than that of E. m. sumatranus. Females are usually smaller than males and have short or no tusks.

Habitat:
The habitats of Indian elephant are varied, but all are within the tropical region. They can live in grasslands and a variety of forests, including scrub forests, tropical evergreen forests, and deciduous forests. Elephants are herbivores and spend up to 19 hours a day grazing on a variety of plants.

99.9 percent of Elephant are born during night timings.

Elephant

Volcanic stone Ganesha, 10th - 11th C CE, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

From the sculpture's description on artsmia.org:

*'...In this classic tenth-century Javanese depiction, from the island of Java, Ganesha sits erect on a double lotus base. Pot bellied and with his chubby feet held tightly together, he eats sweetmeats from a bowl in his lower left hand. His headdress, made of braided locks, bears a protective crescent moon and skull. His lower right hand grasps a broken tusk, while his upper right hand holds a rosary topped with a pomegranate, a symbol of abundance. In his upper left hand, he displays a battle-axe used to counter evil. Ganesha images often decorated the principal niche in the western wall of a Shiva temple.'*

3D scan of a skeleton of the extinct *Deinotherium* (translates to "terrible beast") or hoe tusker, that came to the Natural History Museum Vienna in 1885. The bones of this prehistoric elephant were found in Franzensbad, Czech Republic and originates from the Middle Miocene. 

The Deinotherium is Number 25 of the NHM Top 100 and can be found in Hall 9 of the NHM Vienna.

Description from FLickr user [plnghl](https://www.flickr.com/photos/plnghl/):

"Ganesha is one of the most popular Hindu gods and is the son of Parvati. He is the lord of beginnings as well as the placer and remover of obstacles. He usually carries one of his own tusks in one hand and a bowl of sweets; here he also carries a rosaryand and an axe. 

In myth, Ganesha received his elephant's head when, in a temper, Shiva cut off his human head. Later, he swore to replace it with the head of the first creature he encountered, which was an elephant."

**carnivores ice age**
The mammoth was a genus of pachyderms that lived 
during the Ice Age. There were many types of mammoth that ranged in size from as tall as a giraffe to as short and plump as a pig. The species appearing in Carnivores Ice Age and Carnivores: Ice Age is a woolly mammoth, a species covered in coarse hair that lived throughout the Northern hemisphere during the Pleistocene. Mammoths were similar in shape and form to modern elephants, but most species were larger, with longer tusks and smaller ears, and often a shorter tail.
**accurate**
Mammuthus is an extinct genus of proboscidean mammals in the family Elephantidae, commonly known as mammoths. They existed from approximately 4.8 million years ago until just 3,700 years ago, during the Pliocene (Late Neogene), Pleistocene, and Holocene (Quaternary) epochs. Numerous species have been described, with the woolly mammoth being the most well-known.

This ultra-detailed 3D model brings Palaeoloxodon namadicus to life—one of the largest land mammals to ever walk the Earth. Towering over 5 meters tall and estimated to weigh up to 20–22 tons, this prehistoric giant surpassed modern elephants in both scale and presence.

Carefully crafted with realistic textures and accurate proportions, the model reflects its defining features, including its immense body mass and long, straight tusks. Every detail is designed to emphasize the sheer power and dominance of this extinct species.

Built with rigging and animation in mind, this model offers flexibility for dynamic scenes while maintaining high visual fidelity. Its dense polygon structure allows for exceptional detail, making it ideal for cinematic renders, educational reconstructions, or professional-level projects.

A true centerpiece asset, this model captures the scale, realism, and prehistoric majesty of one of Earth’s most extraordinary creatures.

3D scan of a bearded man holding the jawbone of a Deinotherium in his arm. The Deinotherium, also known as the ‘tusk elephant’, lived from the Middle Miocene until the end of the Early Pleistocene.

You can find a 3D model of the museums Hoe Tusker [here](https://skfb.ly/pwpxz).

The figure was created by Rudolf Weyr (1847-1914) and is part of the decorative program in Hall X of the Natural History Museum.

Figure with Deinotherium

Wild boars (Sus scrofa) are large, bristly-haired, omnivorous mammals native to Eurasia and North Africa, known as the ancestors of domestic pigs. These highly adaptable animals, weighing 66–272 kg, are characterized by their powerful, muscular necks, sharp tusks, and destructive digging behavior. Often nocturnal and fast, they can be dangerous.

Rusty Boar

Giant Elephants are the world's largest living land animals, with males of the African savanna species weighing up to 6–7 tonnes and standing roughly 3–4 meters tall. These highly intelligent, social herbivores (including African bush, forest, and Asian species) are identified by their trunks, tusks, and massive, pillar-like legs.

Stone Tusk Colossus

Small, charming elephant made entirely from layered paper pieces. Its body is covered in overlapping, leaf-shaped paper fragments in warm shades of orange, yellow, and hints of blue, giving it a textured, handmade look. The elephant has large round eyes, short legs, and curved white tusks, which add to its cute and friendly appearance. The folded paper layers create a playful, almost feathery surface, making the little elephant look like a whimsical craft sculpture or origami-inspired character.
