Topic: Elephas recki

	Elephant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Today scientists estimate the world population of Asian elephants, or Elephas maximus, to be approximately 40,000, less than one-tenth the number of African elephants.
		The first subspecies is the Sri Lankan Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus maximus).
		The smallest of all the elephants is the Sumatran Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus).

		There are two species: the Indian elephant, Elephas maximus, found in India and SE Asia, and the African elephant, Loxodonta africana, found in Africa S of the Sahara.
		African bull elephants may reach a shoulder height of 13 ft (4 m) and weigh 6 to 8 tons (5,400–7,200 kg).
		Normally they inhabit the dense forests of central and western Africa, though occasionally they do inhabit the edges of forests and overlap territories with bush elephants.

		Elephas recki dominates fossils of the African Pleistocene.
		With the extinction of Elephas, Loxodonta apparently invaded drier regions forming two subspecies, the forest elephant (Loxodonta africana cyclotis), and the bush elephant (L.
		Odd-toed ungulates probably adopted a diet rich in cellulose during the Paleocene while they were still small since post-gastric fermentation (either colonid or caeicalid) is a better digestive strategy than pre-gastric fermentation in animals smaller than about 5 kg.

	Opinion: How Do You Miss a Whole Elephant Species? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Based on the recent genetic evidence, what is now clear is that not one but two distantly related species of elephant re-emerged at about the same time.
		Modern isotopic studies show that almost all African elephants, savanna and forest alike, prefer browsing to grazing, although some populations incorporate small amounts of grass into their diet.
		As a final interesting and important note, conservationists are rushing to catch up with this discovery as it has critical implications for elephant conservation efforts.

		To place this in perspective, the African forest elephant and African savanna elephant are more distant from each other genetically than a tiger is from a lion or a horse is from a zebra.
		The first is why Elephas recki, a successful grass eating elephant that lived throughout the Pliocene and Pleistocene (5 million years ago to 11,000 years ago) would relatively suddenly be pushed into extinction by the re-emergence of Loxodonta.
		The question that must be asked is if Elephas pushed Loxodonta into the wooded and forested habitats to start browsing around 2.5 million years ago, why then was there a speciation event resulting in a savanna and forest variety of elephant?

		In addition to stone tools, fossil remains of many animals have been found at Olorgesailie, giving the research team an insight into the environment that existed in the basin one million years ago.
		One amazing find (which gave us the idea for our logo) was the discovery of a nearly complete skeleton of an extinct elephant species (Elephas recki).
		The importance of this find was the presence of cut-marks made by stone tools on the bones of the elephant.

	How Many Elephants Are There? - National Zoo\| FONZ
		Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) stand eight to ten feet tall at the shoulders and have humped backs, domed foreheads, small ears, and a single prehensile "finger" on the tips of their trunks.
		African elephants (Loxodonta spp.) tend to be bigger (as much as 13 feet at the shoulders), with a sloping forehead, a straight back, and two "fingers" on their trunks.
		Five million years ago, Africa was actually home to many species of elephants, including one species, Elephas recki, that was the ancestor of modern Asian elephants and was more closely related to woolly mammoths than to the African elephants we know today.

		Subsequent analyses of the faunal and artefact samples from Strata 4a and b have permitted the following inferences:
		* Stratum 4b contains a large sample of tooth plates certainly ascribable to Elephas recki recki, a species of which the latest known occurrence, in East Africa, is at Olorgesailie, in levels predating 800 kyr BP.
		Dating evidence from elesewhere in the Northern Cape strongly suggests that this is also a probably minimum age for the lower Acheulean assemblage at Kathu Pan 1.
