Description

A G. snorki walking on the riverside in South America.
Granastrapotherium is an extinct genus of ungulate mammal described from remains found in rocks of the Tatacoa Desert, in the Colombian departments of Huila and Tolima, at the Miocene fossil site La Venta. The only species formally recognized is Granastrapotherium snorki (from Spanish, gran, "great"; Astrapotherium, "lightning beast"; and snorkel, breathing tube, in reference to the trunk). Remains found in Bolivia and Peru, seem to belong to Granastrapotherium or a very similar animal.(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granastr…)
I created this on the basis of a Skeleton pic provided by my dear friend Zimices (zimices.deviantart.com/)here:

PS:It's got nothing to do with elephants;P
