Elephant close-up.
Elephants belong to the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Their closest relatives are the extant manatees and the cliff-dwellers with whom they form the clade Paenungulata within the superorder Afrotheria. Elephants and manatees are further classified in the clade Tethytheria. Traditionally, two elephant species are recognized: the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) from sub-Saharan Africa and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) from South and Southeast Asia. African elephants have larger ears, a rounded back, more wrinkled skin, and two finger-like tips at the tip of their trunks. The Asian elephant has smaller ears, a convex back, smoother skin, and one finger-like end on the tip of the trunk. The rounded ridges on the molars are narrower in the Asian elephants, while those of the African elephant are more diamond shaped. In addition, the Asian elephant has bumps on its head and some depigmentation spots.
