Loxodonta cyclotis
The African Forest Elephant is a gentle giant that lives in the forests of Africa. They have big ears and long tusks, and they love to eat leaves and fruits from trees.
生息地: Forests
The Loxodonta cyclotis is the smallest of the African elephants, with a dark grey hide and pinkish underparts. It has notably rounder ears and straighter, downward-pointing tusks that are often reddish-brown from forest minerals, which helps distinguish it from its savanna relatives.
