Extinct mammal that had large tusks (8)

I believe the answer is:

mastodon

(Other definitions for mastodon that I've seen before include "Large extinct animal resembling elephant" , "very old elephant" , "Prehistoric creature" , "Extinct beast" , "old jumbo" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
