Order Proboscidea
Elephants (2)
Trunked mammals were very successful long ago. As a result, they spread throughout the globe, except for Australia. Today, however, only 2 species exist, and their future is not certain. The most striking characteristic of all members of the order Proboscidea is their enormous size and their trunks.
