-
An elephant of extinct species †Palaeoloxodon antiquus, that lived across Europe and western Asia during the Pleistocene.
Europe's straight-tusked elephants probably had a herd structure similar to that of other elephants, in which females and young live in small groups, while the larger males were either solitary or congregated in bachelor herds.
