The Miocene Elephant is perhaps the most difficult animal to interact with in the game. They do not give much warning before attacking, unlike the other Irascible Threats who warn a Hominid thoroughly before charging. The only [[weapons]] that can counterattack an elephant successfully are [[File:MindIcon DeadBranch.png|28px]][[Dead Branch]]es, [[File:MindIcon Stick.png|28px]][[Stick]]s, and [[File:SenseIcon SharpStick.png|28px]][[Sharpened Stick]]s. This adds to the difficulty of hunting them because the area they are found in is not rich with Dead Branches. They have a very large amount of health, taking anywhere from 4 to 7 Sharpened Sticks to kill (in my experience -Isheiono.) The elephant is the most confident animal in the game, so a Hominid needs an extremely high[[File:Intimidate ico.png|28px]][[intimidation]] score to scare it away. In my experience (Isheiono,) it took an entire clan of 6 adults and 6 elders all carrying Dead Branches to successfully intimidate an elephant, but an entire clan without weapons is not successful.

When different animals get in close proximity to each other, they can attack and kill each other.

Be aware that while it would normally take multiple successful attacks to kill this animal, if you have enough combat neurons you can actually kill an elephant with one sharpened stick if you're lucky.

Interactions With Other Animals

When different animals get in close proximity to each other, they can attack and kill each other.

The Miocene Elephant is a very formidable foe that can hold its own against all animals it interacts with.

Can Kill

The Miocene Elephant can kill a large number of animals. The Astute Dominator of the Elephant is the evolution feat that deals with the kills the elephant can perform.

Can Be Killed By

The Miocene Elephant is such a formidable foe that no other animal can match it in combat. It will kill other animals that invade its territory but it won't seek out combat.

Trivia

  • Ancestors marks just the second appearance of Stegotetrabelodon in popular culture, with the first being its appearance in the PBS documentary, When Whales Walked: Journeys in Deep Time, also released in 2019.
  • Stegotetrabelodon is a genus of extinct gomphothere-like primitive elephant that lived in Africa during the Late Miocene and Early Pliocene epochs.
  • Unlike the hominids that evolve over time during the game, animals don't change over time. If it was possible to see the evolution of animals, Stegotetrabelodon would evolve into Primelephas around the time of the Ardipithecus Ramidus. Primelephas (the Pliocene Elephant) is the ancestor of both modern African elephants Loxodonta) and Asian elephants (Elephas). It is also ancestor of the mammoths (Mammuthus) and straight-tusked elephants (Palaeoloxodon).
