    • 2018, Tim Flannery, Europe: The First 100 Million Years, Penguin, published 2019, page 192:
      Europe's straight-tusked elephants probably had a herd structure similar to that of other elephants, in which females and young live in small groups, while the larger males were either solitary or congregated in bachelor herds.
