Saber toothed elephant fossils on display in Chongqing

“Among the victims of a long ago era of climate change was the Stegodon Orientalis. It was a saber-toothed elephant that roamed Asia and Africa during the mid-Pleistocene Period. A complete skeleton of this long extinct species has been found in southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality. Soon after the discovery last year, the remains proved to be the largest skeleton of the species ever found.” - CCTV International
