		The youngest record of Amebelodon is from a 5 million year old site in North Africa.
		There has long been an assumption that these lower tusks were actually used as shovels by the animal during feeding, presumably to scoop up water plants.
		However, considerable evidence indicates that Amebelodon actually had a long, flexible trunk very much like that found in modern elephants, and that it probably was important for feeding.

	Gomphothere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Examples of Gompotheres are the extinct genera Gomphotherium, Platybelodon Amebelodon and the very recently extinct Cuvieronius.
		The systematic and phylogeny of gomphotheres are unclear and the group might in fact be paraphyletic.
		The genus Gnathabelodon is often placed in its own family, the Gnathabelodontidae, and Archaeobelodon, Protonancus, Amebelodon, Platybelodon and Serbelodon are sometimes regrouped in a separate family, the Amebelodontidae.

	De Amebelodon worldwidebase
		De amebelodon was een groot, plantenetend zoogdier dat leefde gedurende het vroege midden van de Miocene periode, ongeveer zo'n 15 miljoen jaar geleden.
		Deze amebelodon leefde voornamelijk in de vochtige gedeelten van de prairies, waar hij zich voedde met zachte planten en ook met waterplanten.
		De huidige olifant is, maar dat had u wellicht al gezien op de foto, het dichtst verwante levende dier in onze huidige wereld.

		However, wear patterns on the teeth suggest that it used its lower tusks to strip bark from trees.
		Platybelodon was very similar to the Amebelodon, another gomphothere species.
		Due to the shape of the two lower teeth, which are worn by many gomphothere species (such as Platybelodon and Amebelodon) they are popularly known as shovel tuskers.
