Its name means cup-shaped trunk. Due to its small legs and great weight it was a very slow animal. It had a disproportionately small head in relation to the large size of its body. This may come from having no predators or from reducing the weight of its head to better control its attackers while feeding on plants, for which it would have evolved strangely.
