From Wikipedia

Palaeoloxodon namadicus is an extinct species of prehistoric elephant known from the Middle Pleistocene to Late Pleistocene of the Indian subcontinent, and possibly also elsewhere in Asia. The species grew larger than any living elephant, and is one of the largest known proboscideans alongside the mastodon "Mammut" borsoni. Speculative estimates based on a lost, fragmentary, femur – measured in the 19th century – has led some authors to suggest that P. namadicus may have been larger than Paraceratherium, generally considered the largest known land mammal ever.
