African elephants are scattered in sub-Saharan Africa. They are the only surviving species of trunks, extinct include mammoths and mastodons. They are the largest living land animals. The male African elephants can reach a height of 4 m and a mass of 7000 kg. These animals have several distinguishing features, such as a trunk that is used for many purposes, especially for grabbing objects. Their incisors grow into tusks and serve as tools for moving objects, digging and as weapons during combat. The elephant's large ear flaps are used to control the temperature of the body. African elephants have large ears and a hollow back, while Asian elephants have smaller ears with a convex or straight back. Picture also available in color.
