Current Goal

This pachyderm would like to travel to the continent of Africa and roam with its larger brethren.

About This Item

The mammals of the genus Loxodonta, often known collectively as African elephants, are currently found in 37 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

African elephants are distinguished from Asian elephants in several ways. The most noticeable difference is the ears. Africans' ears are much larger and are shaped like the continent of their origin. The African elephant is typically larger than the Asian and has a concave back. Both males and females have external tusks and are usually less hairy than their Asian cousins. (And yes, the TB is an African Elephant – just look at the ears!)

Under the two species classification, Loxodonta africana refers specifically to the Savanna Elephant, the largest of all the elephants. In fact, it is the largest land animal in the world, standing up to 13 ft (4 m) at the shoulder and weighing approximately 15,400 lb (7,000 kg). The average male stands about 3 m (10 ft) high at the shoulder and weighs about 5500–6000 kg, female being much smaller. Most often, Savanna Elephants are found in open grasslands, marshes, and lakeshores. They range over much of the savanna zone south of the Sahara.

Pictures along the way and especially from Africa would be appreciated.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 4/23/2008 flossmoor grabbed it   Visit Log

Found this inside "Skye Box" (GC118TH) in Fort Myers, Florida. I was going to post this as a "discovery" but since this has not been logged during its most recent travels it looks like this will become a virtual grab and drop.
