Rinkadon

Rinkadons (Immanidae) are a family of elephant-like (mostly) herbivorous mammals descended from a prehistoric group of elephant shrews of Eocene Africa. They are very similar in general appearance to "true" elephants (the distant relative of rinkadons) due to convergent evolution. They are either solitary animals or social herd animals, depending on a species or an individual. They are almost all herbivores, feeding on a wide variety of vegetation, but a few species have long tongues that allow them to feed on insects, not just plants. All known species of rinkadons are listed as Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, rinkadons not at all being hunted by poachers (possibly due to rinkadons not having ivory in their tusks, unlike elephants), and rinkadons being able to tolerate large amounts of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
