Description
As promised I updated it to have a map. However, I want your opinions on weather it improves the chart or not. I am also seeking advice on how to display the ranges and time symbols.So here's the original to compare and contrast: paleop.deviantart.com/art/Elap…
I have received some information on P. namadicus from Aiser Larremendi, and Will update it in the future.

These Pachyderms used several author's skeletals. The woolly Mamoth used 's Mammuthus primigenius skeletal. Paleoloxodon namadicus was made from 's P. nanadicus, and P. recki. A big thank you to them for giving me permission to use their skeletals.

Comparing the mammoth's range to that of African elephants at the present day really makes me feel sad...

Мамонт это супер приспособленное животное, он чемпион по выносливости и силе.

Love this piece! Really shows that woolly mammoths weren't exactly as mammoth as people might think.

Шерстистые мамонты были разные , уже очевидны гибриды с Калифорнийской популяцией мамонтов , в Европе мамонты на протяжении 800 тысяч лет , изменялись , где-то мельчали , или наоборот . Мамонты сибирские в среднем по росту, были равны по высоте и весу с африканцем . Но если у самцов африканцев бивни в поперечнике 20 см , это огромная редкость , и по длине 3 м. , то у самцов шерстистого мамонта , это весьма частое дело

Finally someone notices that Woolly mammoths were smaller than African bush elephants.

They were about the same size actually, you can read here that average size for African bush elephants is 3.2 m in height and 6 tonnes in weight, while average size for Woolly mammoths is estimated at 3.15 m in height and 6 tonnes in weight: www.app.pan.pl/archive/publish…

I dunno about the Rottweil specimen, but I couldda sworn Siegsdorf was an exceptionally large male, no? But the weights do seem not too different. I guess they were more compact/shorter in stature, that's all.

Yes, the Siegsdorf specimen was an exceptionally large male, and smaller than the largest known African bush elephant male (3.49 m and 8.2 tonnes vs. 3.96 m and 10.4 tonnes), but the average weight seems to be the same (6 tonnes), just the Woolly mammoths were a bit shorter (and therefore a bit more robust) at average weight.

Finally we have an accurate comparison with an average sized male African bush elephant and an average sized male Wooly mammoth: asier-larramendi.deviantart.co…

Ah, cool.
Over a year ago, I wrote this article. Is the size in the first image thereby inaccurate?

If we go by average size, then yes, it's inaccurate. The African bush elephant and the Woolly mammoth are taken from this picture: strangesounds.org/wp-content/u… which shows a 12 feet (3.66 m) tall African bush elephant, which is taller than the average (3.2 m). It also shows a 10 feet (3.05 m) tall Woolly mammoth which is a bit shorter than the average (3.15 m), and a Southern mammoth much shorter than the average (4 m).
