Elephantidae has three living species: the Savannah Elephant and Forest Elephant (which were collectively known as the African Elephant) and the Asian Elephant (formerly known as the Indian Elephant). Other species have become extinct since the last ice age, which ended about 10,000 years ago. Elephants are the largest land animals and largest land mammals alive today. At birth it is common for an elephant ...

The threat to the elephant presented by the ivory trade is unique to the species. However, the second critical, and perhaps more complicated, threat to the elephant's survival is one affecting wildlife throughout the planet. The earth is a living biomass and can support only a limited amount of life. As one species increases, typically another must give way somewhere in the world. The human species has expanded at a rate unprecedented in the history of our planet. As of 2005, there are about 6.5 billion people on the planet, and the human po ...

Elephant - Harvest from the Wild. The harvest of elephants, both legal and illegal, has had some unexpected consequences on elephant anatomy as well. African ivory hunters, by killing only tusked elephants, have given a much larger chance of mating to elephants with small tusks or no tusks at all. The propagation of the absent-tusk gene has resulted in the birth of large numbers of tuskless elephants, now approaching 30% in some populations (compare with a rate of about 1% in 1930). Tusklessness, once a very rare ...
