Ross

I believe the answer is:

mastodon

'extinct elephant-like mammal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mastodon that I've seen before include "Large mammal" , "Extinct elephant-like mammal" , "Extinct mammal like an elephant" , "Extinct elephant ancestor" , "Huge animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Times.
