Weighing up to 7 tons and measuring up to 4m at the shoulder, the African elephant is the world’s largest land mammal. However, there are in fact two African species, the African bush elephant and the smaller African forest elephant. Both are herbivores and live in groups, but differ in the size of their ears and tusks, and in the shape and size of their skulls. Both species are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN.
These majestic giants hold a special place in peoples hearts the world over. However, they face a number of threats in the wild which is pushing them towards extinction.
