Proboscidea is an order of large mammals that includes elephants and their extinct relatives, such as mammoths and mastodons. Characterized by their long trunks, large ears, and tusks, members of this order are primarily herbivorous and have adapted to a variety of habitats. Today, only three species of elephants remain: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. The order has a rich evolutionary history, with numerous extinct species contributing to our understanding of prehistoric ecosystems.
