Sicilian Dwarf Elephant

The Sicilian Dwarf Elephant

The Sicilian Dwarf Elephant is an extinct elephant that is part of the proboscidea family.

Description

They were grey with a little bit of brown on them.  Their skin was rough and their size was around 1.5 to 2.3 metres.  They looked similar to other elephants however they were smaller.  Their tail was the same colour as their body.  They had brown over the outside of their ears and the inside was pink.

Habitat

Remains have been found in Sicily, Italy and the Mediterranean Islands.

Diet

They were well known as herbivores because they ate leaves

Extinction

The Sicilian Dwarf Elephant became extinct around 10,000 years ago.  It is suspected it was because of loss of habitat and over hunting.

We love the Sicilian Dwarf Elephants so we think they should be alive.

Lapis

Catching my eyes in along navy sky

Plants

Vines shining in the sun

Trees

Hanging under the willow

Cold

Freezing up to the tips of the trees

Feelings

Very lonely

When is winter going to pass through the jungle?

Wainui

The beach, Wainui was at Golden Bay

I remember feeling excited

The sand burnt my feet

I remember sprinting to a blanket

The sun couldn’t make up it’s mind

I remember wondering what it was doing

The waves were up to my face

I remember rubbing my eyes from salt water

The holiday was awesome

I remember feeling sad as said goodbye to the sea

I remember going home

The trip was fun

I remember getting an icecream on the way
