A British early cretaceous megaraptoran. Thats something
Since proboscideans originated exclusively from Africa, it is much more likely that many of the large prehistoric proboscideans that lived in Africa actually had very large ears much like modern african elephants (genus Loxodonta) which helps them cool off when it comes to living in hotter climate, which in turn also even meant that proboscideans that lived Eurasia had smaller ears and they seemed to have evolved smaller ears multiple times through independent migrations out of Africa.
