Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Two species are traditionally recognised, the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), although some evidence suggests that African bush elephants and African forest elephants are separate species (L. africana and L. cyclotis respectively). Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Elephantidae is the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea; other, now extinct, members of the order include deinotheres, gomphotheres, mammoths, and mastodons. Male African elephants are the largest extant terrestrial animals and can reach a height of 4 m (13 ft) and weigh 7,000 kg (15,00...

Illustration and photo-reconstruction of a woolly, or Siberian, mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius). This animal lived during the Pleistocene and into the early Holocene, and as such coexisted with humans. It was roughly the same size as a modern African elephant. Covered in thick hair, it was well adapted to the cold environment in which it lived, the tundra steppes of northern America, Europa and Asia.

Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth and are members of the family Elephantidae. They are known for their distinctive appearance, with long trunks, large ears, and tusks. There are two species of elephants: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. African elephants are the largest species of elephant and can weigh up to 14,000 pounds (6,350 kilograms). They are found in various habitats across Africa, including savannahs, forests, and deserts. African elephants are known for their distinctive, curved tusks and their wrinkled, gray skin.
