Everything about Elephas Falconeri totally explained
Elephas falconeri is an extinct
Siculo-
Maltese species of elephant closely related to the modern
Asian elephant. In
1867 George Busk had proposed the species
Elephas falconeri for many of the smallest molars selected from the material originally ascribed by
Hugh Falconer to
Elephas melitensis.
This
island-bound elephant was an example of
insular dwarfism, reaching only 90 cm (3 ft) in height.
E. falconeri's ancestors most likely reached the
Mediterranean islands it was found on because of the low
sea level during the
Ice Ages.
In popular culture
The dwarf elephant is one of the 36 animals featured in the video game .
