Proboscidea

Proboscidea is represented in the mammal-wide phylogenetic framework by sampled living elephant lineages and taxonomically completed species placements, while extinct proboscideans require separate fossil evidence; the tree does not date the order’s origin. This navigation entry is not a phylogeny or a complete taxon dossier.
