African Elephant

African elephants usually have the name African, the scientific name is African ivory, the door is Vertebrata, the class is mammals, the order is Proboscidea, and the family is Elephantidae. The closest relatives of the African elephant are: Asian elephant, mammoth, primitive monkey (mammoth), manatee and hoof rabbit. Scientists believe that African elephants have evolved from their closest relatives, manatees. The geographical location and extent of the African elephant covers all areas of central and southern Africa.

African elephants are divided into two different species: the African jungle elephant, the most common species, and the smaller African forest elephant. Jungle elephant is the world's largest terrestrial animal. In both African elephants, both male and female have ivory; these are modified to be able to grow to dozens of kilograms and are used for various basic purposes in elephant life It is an anterior tooth. These ivories are the source of ivory which is important for ivory ornaments and jewelry, but the ivory of mammoth (page 21) has also been excavated and its ivory is legally traded.

There are two kinds of elephants in the two regions of Asia and Africa. The scientific name of Asian elephant is 'Elephas Maximus', and the African elephant is 'Loxodonta'. African elephants differ from Asian elephants in various ways. It is bigger than Indian elephant, both men and women have ivory. Elephants are closely related to water. In addition to drinking water, I also like to swim in and play. It uses a trunk to extract and drink water. Once an elephant can put 4 liters of water in its trunk. In the summer, elephants spend too much time on the water. It splashs water on your body to keep your body cold

The easiest way to distinguish African elephants from Asian elephants is to listen to ears. The ears of African elephants are large and look a little like the African continent, but the ears of Asian elephant are small and round. Elephant's ears radiate the heat of the body. African elephants live in hot weather, so we need to dissipate more heat than Asian elephants (it gets hot as the climate changes). African elephants and Asian elephants have different head shapes. The African elephant has a round head, while Asian elephant has a double indentation, and there is a lawn line on the head. Finally, you can see ivory. Both male and female African elephants can have ivory, but only male Asian elephants can nurture them. However, it is worth noting that not all Asian elephants and all elephants in Africa develop ivory.

It may have been said that there are only two heads of African elephant and Asian elephant. In 2000, scientists reclassified the species of African elephants into two different species. The bigger one is African savanna, the smaller one is African elephant. These two African species differ from tiger and lion genetics, but they have more general characteristics than Asian species, and it is important to know how to distinguish them is. Elephant's ears in Asia and Africa, head shape and ivory are most easily distinguishable.
