The long-tusked gomphothere (Anancus magnalignum) is a species of anancid gomphothere that originally lived in Africa, Europe, and Asia during the Turolian age of the late Miocene until the early Pleistocene, roughly from 3—1.5 million years ago, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the jungles, swamps, marshlands, forests, and open woodlands throughout Eurasia and Africa to help boost biodiversity. The long-tusked gomphothere is a very large elephant relative, growing on average of about 9.8 feet (3 meters) tall and weigh around 5 tons, and closely resembles an elephant, except with much longer tusks that usually grows to be around 13 feet (4 meters) long, hence its name, which are used for defense against any potential predators. Like elephants, the long-tusked gomphothere has a long, grasping trunk which is normally used to pull the vegetation, reach the water sources, and for communication in a manner similar to elephants. Unlike elephants, however, its molars are not composed of lamellae like those of true elephants, but has cusps, like tapir and pig molars; more suited for browsing than grazing. The long-tusked gomphothere primarily lives in the forests, eating from trees and shrubs and digging out tubers and roots in the forest floor. It is a social herd-dwelling animal, with adult females as well as young males and females living together, which are leaded by the matriarch (female leader), but bull male long-tusked gomphotheres live in mostly solitary lives unless it is breeding seasons, when males have musth and males find suitable females to mate with. The conservation status of the long-tusked gomphothere is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the long-tusked gomphotheres' wide range.
