African Elephant

African Elephant Skull (Loxodonta Africana)
Description: This is the largest living terrestrial mammal today. Its enormous ears serve to dissipate body heat as the elephant slowly fans them. This activity also brushes away insects from its eyes. The upper incisor teeth form tusks, which average about 5 ft long and weigh about 35 lb. African elephants are more evenly gray than their Asian counterparts, have more thick hairs on their bodies, and have a back that bows like a horse, whereas the Asian elephant's back humps up like a camel. The trunk has two fingerlike projections at the tip, and it is said that they can pick up a dime from the floor. The forest subspecies of this elephant is smaller than the savanna race. Length of head and body including trunk range up to 25 ft, and they can reach up to 13 feet at the shoulder. Their weight may exceed six and one half tons.
