Gomphotherium It is an extinct genus of proboscidean mammals, it was about 3 meters tall, and was quite similar to today's elephants. However, it had four fangs or defenses; two in the upper jaw and another two in the elongated jaw. The lower fangs are parallel and shovel-shaped. The function of these lower defenses is not completely defined, although one of the main hypotheses is that they were used to dig the ground in search of roots or aquatic plants, since their elongated head was located in a lower profile than that of current elephants. Compared to primitive proboscideans, Gomphotherium he had few molar teeth; The ones he had had high edges to extend the chewing surface.
