Amebelodon first appeared in the Great Plains and Gulf Coast regions of North America during the late Miocene, roughly between 9 and 8 million years ago, and apparently became extinct on this continent sometime around 6 million years ago. It managed to migrate to Asia via the Bering land bridge where it has been found in a number of late Miocene sites, particularly in China. The youngest record of Amebelodon is from a 5 million year old site in North Africa.[1][2][3]

abstract
  • Amebelodon first appeared in the Great Plains and Gulf Coast regions of North America during the late Miocene, roughly between 9 and 8 million years ago, and apparently became extinct on this continent sometime around 6 million years ago. It managed to migrate to Asia via the Bering land bridge where it has been found in a number of late Miocene sites, particularly in China. The youngest record of Amebelodon is from a 5 million year old site in North Africa.[1][2][3] Gomphotheres are notoriously difficult to identify with confidence down to the species level because of considerable intraspecific variation in the group, with a result that many named species are probably invalid. However, species that are most likely valid include Amebelodon floridanus, Amebelodon fricki, Amebelodon britti, and Amebelodon cyrenaicus. Amebelodon varied considerably in size. Amebelodon floridanus was smaller than a modern Asian elephant, while Amebelodon britti reached a shoulder height of 8 to 10 feet at the shoulder and a likely weight of 10 metric tons, similar to the largest mammoths and considerably larger than the living African elephant.
