化石是真的，樂高是大家一起堆的
2002 年，馬克・比奇博士（Dr Mark Beech）在魯韋斯附近發現長 2.54 公尺的上獠牙化石，被認定為阿拉伯半島發現過最大的中新世化石之一。之後在其他地點也挖到成體腿骨與幼體骨骼。
EN In 2002, Dr. Mark Beech found a 2.54-meter-long fossil upper tusk near Ruwais. It was recognized as one of the largest Miocene fossils found on the Arabian Peninsula. Adult leg bones and young animals’ bones were later found at other sites.

Stegotetrabelodon 有上下各兩根獠牙，外形和現在的非洲象、亞洲象都不一樣。用樂高把它放大到接近真實尺度，參觀者比較容易理解「從前的阿布達比長什麼樣子」。
EN Stegotetrabelodon had two upper and two lower tusks, unlike today’s African and Asian elephants. A nearly life-size LEGO model helps visitors imagine what Abu Dhabi looked like long ago.
