Gomphotherium is an extinct genus of proboscid which evolved in the lower Miocene of North America.
It survived from 13.65–1.7 million years ago (mya).

They spread to Asia, Europe and Africa after a drop in sea level allowed them to cross over.
It survived into the Pliocene, and its remains have been found in Chile, china, France, Germany, Austria, Kansas, Tennessee, Pakistan, Kenya and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

 
Gomphotherium stood around 3 metres (9.8 ft) high with an estimated weight of 4-5 tons, and looked similar to a modern elephant.
However, it had four tusks; two on the upper jaw and two on the long lower jaw.
Gomphotherium lived in dry wooded regions near lakes.
