The African Elephants and the Asian Elephants

Have you been to the zoo since you were a child? Can you see the earth mammal called an elephant? I think that most of you already know the appearance of creatures called elephants. But you know that the elephant is divided into two different types, African and Asian types. African elephants and Asian elephants come from the same family classification, but each elephant has a difference in physique, living environment, distribution area, etc.

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.

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

There are many differences between African elephants and Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). African elephants have big ears that function as heat exchangers at African temperature, but Asia elephant has no big ears because there is no fever in some parts of Asia. African elephant wrinkles on the skin and eats leaves, but Asian elephant has smooth skin and grazing. More closely, the highest point of the African elephant is on the shoulder, you can see that the highest point of Asian elephant is on the back. In addition, there are two "fingers" at the end of the trunk of the African elephant, but there is only one "finger" at the end of Asian elephant trunk. Men's ivory is big, but both male and female African elephants have ivory, but it is also pointed out that women in Asian elephants have basic ivory or no ivory.
