Forest Elephant - Until recently, it was thought that the so-called Forest Elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) was simply a subspecies of the African Savannah Elephant (Loxodonta africana). DNA testing has now shown that there are in fact three extant elephant species: the two African types (formerly considered to be separate populations of a single species, the African Elephant) and the South Asian species, known as the Indian or Asian Elephant.

Savanna elephant - The African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the best-known and larger of the two African elephants. Both it and the forest elephant were previously classified as a single species, which was known simply as the African elephant.

Asian Elephant - The Asian Elephant, sometimes known as the Indian Elephant (Elephas maximus) is one of the two or three living species of elephant. It is smaller than its African relatives, and the easiest way to distinguish the two is the smaller ears of the Asian Elephant.

Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew - The Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew, Rhynchocyon chrysopygus, is the largest of all the unique African family, the elephant shrews. It is the size of a small rabbit, and lives is only found in the coastal Arabuko Sokoke National Park north of Mombassa in Kenya.
