Prehistoric Elephants
There were many types of prehistoric elephants and they had a rich evolutionary process. Elephants originated from the Lin grey beast that appeared about 60 million years ago. Before the Lin grey beast, the ancestral elephant (which lived 47 million years ago) was once thought to be the origin of elephants. The earliest mammoth was the pygmy mammoth that lived on Crete about 3.59 million years ago. Juwei elephants had a pair of spiral incisors. Dinosaurs had no fangs on their upper jaw, but a pair of downward curved fangs on their lower jaw. Male Dinosaurs had a shoulder height of nearly five meters. Prairie mammoths lived in the middle of the Pleistocene 600,000 years ago. They might be the ancestors of Ice Age mammoths. The length of the adult elephant tusks could reach 3 to 4 meters. There used to be more than 180 species of proboscis (the same species as elephants), such as African mastodons, saber-toothed elephants, mammoths, etc. Between 30 million and 25 million years ago, proboscis evolved slowly, with only two out of eight populations evolving. 20 million years ago, after the collision between the Afro-Arabian Plate and the European continent, the evolution of proboscis accelerated and many new species were born. However, with the constant changes in the Earth's environment, such as climate warming and cooling, the long-nosed elephant continued to face survival challenges. Many long-nosed elephants that adapted to forest life disappeared when the Earth warmed up about six million years ago. When the Earth entered the Fourth Period of frequent climate fluctuations (the beginning of the Ice Age) about three million years ago, the extinction rate of long-nosed elephants in Europe and Asia increased fivefold. Many prehistoric elephant species went extinct, and now only African elephants were left. Asian elephants and forest elephants.

Elephants and Giants
Ancient works of art, such as the murals of the Nubian pyramids, depicted giants hunting elephants or carrying them on their shoulders. From these descriptions, the elephant was huge and heavy. If the giant could hunt or carry a load on the elephant, it implied that the giant had great strength and a tall figure. Modern elephants were the largest terrestrial animals on Earth. There were different species such as African grassland elephants, African forest elephants, and Asian elephants. There were many records and legends about giants in ancient times, such as the giants in Egyptian murals and the cyclops in Homerian mythology. The two were linked in these ancient cultural and artistic works. However, the scientific community had no unified opinion on whether the ancient giants really existed.

It first fell with the zebra, but the zebra was not its match and was quickly thrown down. The elephant fell to the gibbon again. Although the gibbon was tall, its body was not as big as the elephant, so it was also thrown to the ground by the elephant. The elephant thought to himself that no one was his opponent, and that he would be the champion today. The elephant was waiting for a new opponent, but who knew that the new opponent was a small ant. The elephant saw the little ant laughing so hard that his belly hurt. He said,"Little ant, you dare to wrestle with my elephant?" The little ant wanted to give it a try. The elephant was very disdainful. It put on an arrogant posture and said that it would stand still and let the little ant push, pull, kick, and hit it. As long as it could fall, the champion would be the little ant. The little ant asked the elephant to keep his word, and the elephant said that he always kept his word. Judge Xiaotu whistled, and the elephant stood still. The little ant climbed up the elephant's feet, climbed up the elephant's neck, and then crawled into the elephant's ears. He scratched and bit the elephant's ears, and even pulled the ear hair to swing. The elephant was so itchy that it couldn't stand it. It fell to the ground with a plop and rubbed its ears. It begged for mercy from the ant and admitted that it had lost. The little ant won first place. The animals gave it their blessings and flowers.

After waiting for a long time, a weak voice came from the bottom of his feet. It turned out to be a small ant. The elephant laughed at the little ant for daring to challenge him. The little ant wanted to compete. The elephant said that as long as the little ant could knock him down (he stood still), the champion would go to the little ant. Many animals came to watch. When the game began, the little ant crashed into the elephant. Not only did it not hurt the elephant, but it was also thrown ten meters away. The little ant learned its lesson and climbed to the elephant's armpit. It tickled the elephant with its antennae and hands and feet. The elephant couldn't help but laugh and roll. In the end, the little ant won the championship. The elephant was ashamed, and the little ant responded modestly. The two became good friends. Another version was in a forest wrestling competition. After the elephant defeated buffaloes, girafs, zebras, and other opponents, it was waiting for a new opponent when a small ant came. The little ant attacked the elephant's feet first. It was useless to bite or kick it. The elephant even mocked the little ant. The little ant saw the elephant's nose and had a flash of inspiration. When the elephant felt that the little ant did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, the little ant climbed into the elephant's trunk while it was talking. It scratched left and right, bit and nibbled inside, making the elephant laugh, roll around, and pant. In the end, the elephant had no choice but to admit defeat. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The Invisible Reality of Elephants
The practical significance of the " invisible elephant " could be understood from the following aspects: - In terms of personal pursuit, it reminded people not to be rigidly bound to specific forms or fixed patterns to pursue great or noble goals. For example, when a person pursued personal growth and self-actualization, he should not be limited to a specific professional image or achievement model. The truly great achievements were often not limited to one pattern and were diverse and could not be simply defined by one form. - In interpersonal relationships and social relationships, when a person wanted to exert a greater influence, he did not rely on external force or dignity to force others, but an invisible and imperceptible force to influence the people around him. For example, a leader didn't rely on his superficial power to drive his subordinates. Instead, he relied on his own personal charm, moral quality, thinking wisdom, and other inner qualities to unite and lead the team. - When looking at all things in the world, it warned people that the greatest and most magnificent scenes and realms in the world were often not limited to a specific thing or pattern, but had rich, diverse, and changing appearances and scenes. For example, the development model or cultural characteristics of a country or region could not be simply defined by a fixed and narrow concept. Its content was rich and constantly changing. There was no fixed external form.
Who are the ancestors of elephants?
There were many possibilities for the ancestors of elephants. The primitive elephant was considered the oldest ancestor of the elephant. It lived about 60 million years ago and was only similar in size to a rabbit. It was the oldest known proboscis. The sword tooth elephant was also one of the ancestors of the elephant. It appeared from the late Miogene-early Pleistocene period 10 - 14 million years ago and was widely distributed in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Its tusks were 3 - 4 meters long. In addition, the cogs were also thought to be the ancestors of elephants. Although the proto-elephant was once widely believed to be the most primitive ancestor of elephants, it was now thought to be only a branch of the proboscis that had gone extinct early. In the long evolution of elephants, there were hundreds of elephant species, but many of them were eliminated for various reasons. Today, there are only two kinds of elephants on Earth, the Asian elephant and the African elephant.
