This is amazing

It is really cool to see the evolution of Elephants.

I have never heard of theΒ Elephas falconeri before, is it known what time period it lived in?

Elephas Falconeri, also Sicilian elephant, used to live during Pleostocene, in Italia and Greece.

This is beautifulΒ 
Elephas looks like someone you shouldn't mess with.

Very nice! I guess P.namadicus is the sub-adult individual that was found. It is only a few centimeters taller than Deinotherium, while one giant specimen was actually over 1 meter taller than Deinotherium.

Yes, the Palaeoloxodon’s size was a bit problematic, I was afraid to make it far taller than it was.

If the Palaeoloxodon you're referring to is namadicus, it could be a bit small.Β 

Take a look at these works from Asier Larramendi, who is a very reliable expert in proboscideans:
The colossal Narmada valley elephants
The Largest Land Mammal in History
