The Elephant
African or Asian?
You can distinguish an African elephant from an Asian one by their larger size, bigger ears, and by their "swaybacked" look. If you get close enough, you can see that African elephants have two prehensile projections at the end of the trunk, while Asian elephants have one. These projections act like fingers and can pick up small objects like a twig, a leaf, or a flower. The well-muscled trunk can lift a tree. Heck... just as long as I ...

They are also believed to be shaped like the universe, i.e. a spherical body mounted upon four pillar-like legs. It is with these thoughts that the pillars of a building are sometimes carved to resemble these creatures. The peaceful elephant is the symbol of ...

The largest living land animal overall is the African bush elephant.
An elephant uses its ivory tusks as tools and as weapons, but some elephants can do without them, such as the female Asian elephant, which has tiny tusks.
The elephant is the proud owner of both a trunk and tusks.
An elephant's trunk can be used for lifting, wrestling, comforting and eating, as well as drawing up water and squirting it over itself, or another elephant.

When Hannibal crossed the Alps to go to war in the 3rd century BC, he was assisted by domesticated African elephants. At that time, elephants were widespread from the Cape to Cairo, with numbers probably in the tens of millions. Today the elephant occupies less than one quarter of its former range, and there are now less than 610 000.
WHY HAVE ELEPHANT POPULATIONS DECLINED?
* Uncontrolled hunting for ivory.

African and Asian elephants descended from a long line of giant animals that included the wooly mammoth and mastodon.
The word "elephant" comes from the Greek word elephas, meaning ivory, in reference to the animal's prominent tusks, which are actually elongated incisor teeth. Excepting tusks, elephants have only four molar teeth. These teeth are replaced as they are worn away, up to six times throughout an elephant's life.
