Elephant, (family Elephantidae), largest living land animal, characterized by its long trunk (elongated upper lip and nose), columnar legs, and huge head with temporal glands and wide, flat ears. Elephants are grayish to brown in colour, and their body hair is sparse and coarse. They are found most often in savannas, grasslands, and forests but occupy a wide range of habitats, including deserts, swamps, and highlands in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia.
The African savanna, or bush, elephant (Loxodonta africana) weighs up to 8,000 kg (9 tons) and stands 3 to 4 metres (10 to 13 feet) at the shoulder. The African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), which lives in rainforests, was recognized as a separate species in 2000 and is smaller than the savanna elephant. It has slender, downward-pointing tusks. The common belief that there existed “pygmy” and “water” elephants has no basis; they are probably varieties of the African forest elephants.
Trying a different edit on animals and wildlife. This is a resident of West Midlands Safari Park, which is well worth a visit.
Saw several herds on this journey. Efforts underway to stop poaching, but it is an ongoing battle, as the gangs are so well organized.

Elephants at waterhole, Etosha - Namibia
The elephant herd quickly arrives at the waterhole and occupies the best drinking spot. Other animals stay away when elephants drink water. Elephants bathe and cool off in the waterhole and all disappear as quickly as they arrive. It all goes quickly and only takes a few minutes.
"It's nice to have an elephant in the room. There's nothing more helpful than something everybody's thinking about."
Quote - Seth Meyers
An elephant having a dust bath (also called sand bathing), with the purpose of cleaning skin, and removing parasites.
