Daily Dose of Prehistory: Back From Extinction 82

Amebelodon floridanus, meaning "Florida Shovel Tooth", is an extinct species of proboscidean belonging to the family Amebelodontidae, otherwise known as shovel-tuskers, that lived in the Great Plains and Gulf Coast regions of North America from the Mid to Late Miocene, around 9 to 5 million years ago. They resembled modern elephants and extinct mammoths to a degree, though they had a second, lower pair of tusks that formed the so-called shovel on their lower jaw which would've been used in a variety of ways such as scooping up water plants, digging for tubers, and scraping bark off of trees. In terms of size, they were slightly smaller than modern elephants.
