Geocache Description:



The 21 Basic Mammal Groups

Elephants (Order Proboscidea)




You might be surprised to learn that all of the world's elephants, order Proboscidea, belong to only two (or possibly three) species. They are the African elephant (Loxodonta africana), the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), and, according to some experts, the African forest elephant (L. cyclotis). As rare as they are now, elephants have a rich evolutionary history that includes not only the familiar mammoths and mastodons of the Ice Age but distant ancestors like Gomphotherium and Deinotherium. Elephants are characterized by their large size, floppy ears, and long, prehensile trunks.


The 21 Basic Mammal Group caches were placed for HNY21.
