Paleontologists discovered an elephant graveyard from 5.5 million years ago in Florida, according to press reports from June 1.
The graveyard is filled with bones belonging to gomphotheres, an extinct ancestor of the modern-day elephant.
The paleontologists uncovered the full skeletons of at least one adult and seven infant gomphotheres. The adult measured 2.4 meters tall, while the head and tusks had an estimated length of 2.7 meters.
