An extinct proboscidean (elephant-like mammal) from the Miocene and Pliocene epochs with downward-curving tusks.
From Greek 'deinos' (terrible) and 'therion' (beast), named for its fearsome appearance with curved tusks that resembled a monster.
Deinotherium was like a prehistoric relative of the elephant, but with tusks that curved downward like scythes—scientists still debate whether it used them for digging or fighting.
