Working on this one was a real challenge. The lighting of the photo was difficult to figure out, and the shapes on the head were at an angle that I wasn't familiar with. Anyway, the outcome got me satisfied. I had no idea about this subspecies until I got to study elephants. Very interesting subspecies. Join the club to know more about this and more animals. Also, you can get access to the book in the making and the Esticker album. Click here ____________________________________________ Thank you guys for your support.

African Forest Elephant Loxodonta cyclotis Family: Elephantidae Genus: Loxodonta Subspecies: 00 Feed: Herbivorous Habitat: Monsoon Forest Status and Conservation: Endangered This unique elephant species is the smallest of the three (2.4 meters), it boasts a disproportionately impressive tusk. Adapted for forest life, it has a compact frame, less curved tusks for easy navigation, and probably the most captivating feature is its distinct yellow eyes common in many of these animals.
However, their valuable tusks make them targets for ivory poaching. This endangered species is challenging to study due to its remote habitat. Full body illustration and extended explanation join here: Discovering Club
African Bush Elephant Loxodonta africana Family: Equidae Genus: Equus Subspecies: 00
Feed: Herbivorous Habitat: Subtropical Dry Forest Status and Conservation: Endangered The largest elephant species, it stands as the tallest terrestrial animal on Earth, reaching heights of up to 3.96 meters. Highly social and exceptionally intelligent, elephants exhibit remarkable traits.
Given their impressive size and strong social bonds, elephants are effectively free from predators. Although young elephants may occasionally fall prey to lions or hyenas, their overall vulnerability is minimal.
Regrettably, the sole threat to their existence is us, humans. Throughout history, we have hunted elephants for sustenance and weaponry. In modern times, however, our pursuit of these magnificent creatures is driven primarily by a desire for ornamental purposes. _________________________________________ Thank you, guys, for being here.
