mastodons
Ice Age tuskers
Mastodons were large, elephant-like mammals that roamed North America until about 10,000 years ago.
They resembled woolly mammoths but had flatter heads and differently shaped teeth suited for browsing on trees and shrubs.
The word sometimes appears figuratively for anything massive and prehistoric-seeming: That old mainframe is a mastodon.
