	Encyclopedia: Proboscidea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		As regards the incisors, or tusks, which project largely out of the mouth, and are of ari elongated conical form and generally curved, these are composed mainly of solid dentine, the fine elastic quality and large mass of which renders it invaluable as ivory for commerce and the arts.
		A peculiarity of the dentine of the Proboscidea is that it shows, in transverse fractures or sections, fine lines proceeding in the arc of a circle from the centre FIG.
		Elephas.The extinct representatives of the Proboscidea are of the greatest importance and interest, since they serve to connect the modern elephants with ungulates of more ordinary type.

	Proboscidea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Proboscidea is an order containing only one family of living animals, Elephantidae, the elephants, with three species (African Elephant, Forest Elephant, and Asian Elephant).
		During the period of the last ice age there were more, now extinct species, including a number of species of the elephant-like mammoths and mastodons.
		The earliest known proboscidean is Pilgrimella, and after that Moeritherium.

	Proboscidea
		THE ORDER PROBOSCIDEA: The sole survivors of a once prevalent order are the two species of elephants, those colossal pachyderms (thick skins) which inhabit Africa south of the Sahara, as well as India, Sri Lanka, and southeast Asia.
		The African elephant is the largest land animal alive today at over 15,000 pounds, while the Asian (also known as the Indian) elephant is the most powerful land animal.
		By curling their trunks around bushes, grasses or trees branches and pulling, the elephant can then take the vegetation with his trunk and put it into his mouth to eat.

		Martynia, popularly called "unicorn plant," is grown for its seed pods which are picked while young and tender and used for pickles, like cucumbers.
		Both the generic name Proboscidea (nose-like) and the popular name "unicorn plant" refer to the configuration of the pods.
		These fruits are hairy, about 1-inch thick and 4-6 inches long at maturity, about half the length consisting of a slender, curved beak.
