		Using healthy adult female Asian elephants (Elephas maximus, n=6), the hypothesis was tested that, given the O(2) binding characteristics of elephant blood, substantial reductions in arterial O(2) pressure (Pa(O(2))) in LR could be tolerated without lowering arterial O(2) content appreciably.

	Digimorph - Elephas maximus (Asian elephant)
		The Asian elephant, Elephas maximus, and the African elephant, Loxodontia africana are the only elephant species remaining from a once diverse group, the Proboscidea.

		Gajashastra, or "elephant science," was studied and recorded in several texts that are based on oral traditions.
		Comment: _Elephas maximus_ is a rather engaging- if sometimes a bit rambling - portrait of the Indian elephant (author Stephen Alter admits that the more proper common name is Asian Elephant but as he focuses on only _Elephas maximus_ as it is found in India he keeps the name Indian Elephant).
		Alter sought to tell the natural history of the elephant as well as its human history on the subcontinent, depicting it in history, mythology, religion, art, and literature.

		In mid 1988 a 3-yr-old Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) from a circus in Switzerland died following generalized manifestation of a herpesvirus infection.
		In an effort to determine prevalence of infection with the herpesvirus, and due to lack of a corresponding virus isolate, it was decided to evaluate contact animals and elephants from a second herd for antibody to bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV1) and bovine herpesvirus 2 (BHV2).

		Elephas Maximus: A Portrait of the Indian Elephant
		Revered in Indian religion as the source of life, respected in Indian culture as a bringer of good fortune, and coveted by poachers for its ivory tusks, the majestic Asian elephant has lived, worked, and even fought side by side with humans for more than four thousand years.
		Yet conservationists are fighting to preserve its endangered habitat as settlements expand, and ivory poaching has threatened generations of elephants until tuskless males may be all that survive.

		It was formerly called Indian elephant, which is a confusing name, since Asian elephants occur in 13 asian countries, from west India, to southern China, and in southeast from the malay peninsula to the islands Sumatra and Borneo, why "Indian" is unappropiate, and the name "Indian elephant" should be used only for the Indian subspecies.
