Should we add slam and/or stamp to the Attack line? It seems doubtful that a gore would be its usual opening attack (with the poorer reach).
Feats: 5
Elephant Feats: Alertness, Endurance, Iron Will, Skill Focus (Listen)
Mastodon Feats: Alertness, Endurance, Improved Natural Attack (gore), Improved Natural Attack (slam), Iron Will, Toughness
Mammoth Feats: Alertness, Endurance, Improved Bull Rush, Multiattack, Power Attack
Borrow the mammoth feats, maybe swapping Iron Will in for Improved Bull Rush?

Use gore as an optional attack pattern. Not necessarily it's main attack.
Feats:
Endurance, Improved Bull Rush, Multiattack, Power Attack,Improved Natural Attack (slam)
I'm not a fan of alertness and this thing isn't that smart, it's a big dumb animal. It's tough, it's huge, it'll hurt when it hits you and runs you over.

We've moved away from Improved Natural Attack (and Improved Natural Armor) since we can set any damage value we'd like. Best to leave these for enterprising DMs who advance the critters.
Alertness is rather common among herbivores, though. What better way to not get eaten by a predator than to sense it approaching and avoid it?

I like the modified mammoth feats, myself, and the damage values look good. Stamp should probably be primary.

Should it still get the Str-1/2 for the gore? It doesn't strike me as appropriate here.
Natural armor?
Elephant: +7 natural
Mastodon: +8 natural
Mammoth: +10 natural
Advancement?
Elephant: 12–22 HD (Huge)
Mastodon: 16-30 HD (Huge); 31-45 HD (Gargantuan)
Mammoth: 15-20 HD (Huge); 21-28 HD (Gargantuan)

1/2 STR is all it has for the gore. Gotta give it something. and you figure if it's in close range the only way for it to gore an opponent is to rise up and charge DOWN with it's curved tusks. All that weight is gonna hurt.
Natural armor:+7 wasn't that tough of skin from the wiki if i remember
Advancement: Mammoth. These were big prehistorical beasties.

We actually have a nice little pattern here, and so therefore I suggest fitting the Deinotherium into that pattern, and giving it +9 natural armor.
