One of the supposed pieces of evidence against evolution is that scientists cannot decide what elephants could have evolved from. Many scientists point to the idea that elephants share a common ancestor with sea cows and water dwelling hyraxes<ref>http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/misconceptions_faq.php#b3</ref><ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_sirenians</ref>. Some support for this point of view is that elephants might have used their trunks as snorkels.

In the past, there were many different types of elephants like [[mammoth|mammoths]] and [[mastodon|mastodons]], but most creation scientists say that these species never made it onto the ark and that these species perished with the [[dinosaurs]]{{fact}}. Scientists and scholars agree that Noah could not have trekked all the way to the arctic to collect a pair of mastodons before the earth was flooded, and they all drowned. There is some debate over why other arctic species like polar bears and penguins survived.
