Description
I have put tribal markings on the faces of these elephants to signify that they are fighting a war themselves with the guns of poachers and greed of man
Elephantidae is a family of large, herbivorous mammals collectively called elephants and mammoths. These are terrestrial large mammals with a snout modified into a trunk and teeth modified into tusks. Most genera and species in the family are extinct. Only two genera, Loxodonta (African elephants) and Elephas (Asiatic elephants), are living.
The family was first described by John Edward Gray in 1821, and later assigned to taxonomic ranks within the order Proboscidea. Elephantidaehave also been revised by various authors to include or exclude other extinct proboscidean genera
