The Mastodon was a large extinct prehistoric mammal of the genus Mammut once plentiful in what is now Europe and Asia. Mastodon resembled the elephant but is distinguished by having nipple-shaped tubercles arranged in pairs on the crowns of the molar teeth. It is also thought that Mastodon had a different shape to the head and neck than an elephant. Research Mastodon
