Deinotherium is a large mammal that lived in Africa, Europe, and Asia during the Miocene-Pleistocene (about 20 million to 1 million years ago). It is not a dinosaur; it lived much later than dinosaurs and is a distant relative of the elephant. It had distinctive tusks curved downward on its lower jaw, which it probably used to strip bark from trees or dig.
