Well, that's a handsome critter. Clearly more related to the Indian than the African.

Can't imagine how you kill one without recourse to gunpowder or even crossbows.

I understand that some of the primitive hunters would sneak up and cut a leg tendon or two and jumbo was immobilized.

There is a full (fossil) skeleton of a spoonbill elephant at the Milwaukee museum. The lower jaw is a big long spoon.
