The texture on the skin has been carefully crafted and the paint job is excellent, particularly the work on those downward pointing tusks which have a roughened and weathered look to them. The downward pointing tusks were used by these prehistoric elephants in a variety of ways.

The tusks probably served a variety of functions to assist with feeding. For example, some palaeontologists suggest that the tusks were used to excavate tubers and roots. Other scientists have proposed that the tusks were used to help to scrape bark from trees. The curved tusks would have made very effective hooks to help Deinotherium pull at tree branches, from which they could strip the leaves.
