	Loxodonta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Loxodonta is a genus in Elephantidae, the family of elephants.

	African Forest Elephant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Until recently, it was thought that the so-called African Forest Elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) was simply a subspecies of the African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta africana).
		The North African elephant of Hannibal fame was a now-extinct fourth species or a subspecies of the Forest Elephant (Loxodonta (africana) pharaoensis); it disappeared around the 1st or 2nd century CE.
		The disputed Pygmy Elephants of the Congo basin, often assumed to be a separate species (Loxodonta pumilio) by cryptozoologists, are probably Forest Elephants whose diminutive size and/or early maturity is due to environmental conditions.

	12/17/01 -- How Do You Miss a Whole Elephant Species?
		The newly identified species, named Loxodonta cyclotis, means that Africa is home to both the "savanna" elephant and the "forest" elephant.
		Loxodonta emerged about 5 million years ago at the end of the Miocene (23 to 5 million years ago) and thrived throughout the early Pliocene (5 to 1.6 million years ago) in Africa.
		Most isotopic studies of fossil elephants suggest that Loxodonta was also a grazer in its early stages before its reduction in numbers in the late Pliocene about 2 million years ago.

		The largest elephant ever recorded was a male shot in Angola in 1974, that weighed 12 tonnes (27,000 pounds, or 13.5 tons).
		The African elephant is larger than the Indian one (up to 4m high and 7500kg) and has bigger ears (which are rich in veins and thought to help in cooling off the blood in the hotter African climate).
		This reclassification has important implications for conservation, because it means where there were thought to be two small populations of a single endangered species, there may in fact be two separate species, each of which is even more severely endangered.

		This agreement provides assistance to the Tanzania government in its efforts to protect and conserve the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) through the support of surveillance and protection activities to be concentrated in the northern, central, eastern lake, and southern zones.
		The objective is to swiftly and effectively respond to an outbreak of anthrax among Namibia’s desert elephants and thereby eliminate the risk of the disease killing some of the last remaining desert elephants in Africa.
		The objective of the agreement is to determine the status of elephant populations in three of the eight Tanzania areas with significant populations to serve as a population baseline for Tanzania.

		Five convex and five concave outside angle measurements were obtained from each of 16 sequential sections taken from a Loxodonta africana tusk approximately 90 cm x 12.5 cm.
		The visual perception of the Schreger Pattern is a function of intertubule distances and the wave alternation of adjacent dentinal tubule rows.
		Fewer tubules per unit area, as observed in Loxodonta and Elephas ivories, result in greater distance between shadows and therefore greater (obtuse) angles (fig.

	African elephant - Loxodonta africana: More Information - ARKive
		Listed in CITES Appendix I in 1989, but the populations of the following Range States have since been transferred back to Appendix II: Botswana (1997), Namibia (1997), South Africa (2000) and Zimbabwe (1997) (1).
		Preliminary genetic evidence suggests that there may be at least two species of African elephants, namely the savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis).
		However, many conservationists believe there is as yet insufficient evidence to justify this distinction (4), and that premature allocation into more than one species may leave hybrids in an uncertain conservation status (1).

		Recent research work is based on an analysis of the morphological and genetic differences between the two forms of African elephant, previously classified as sub-species (Loxodonta africana africana and L. africana cyclotis).
		The research proposes that these are two species, the Bush (or Savanna) African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the Forest African elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis).
		By the biological definition of a species, it is unable to inter-breed with other species and produce viable offspring that can go on to reproduce themselves.

		One branch evolving into Loxodonta (African elephants) and the other evolving into Elephas (Asian elephants) and Mammuthus (mammoths).
		Mammoths are probably the best known and best studied of all elephant forebearers because of well preserved, frozen carcasses found in Alaska and Siberia.
		That leads us to the three surviving proboscidean species; Loxodonta africana, Loxodonta cyclotis, and Elephas maximus.

	Dominance rank relationships among wild female African elephants (Loxodonta africana) — ABS Media Information
		Dominance rank relationships among wild female African elephants (Loxodonta africana)
		Socioecological models of the evolution of female bonded societies predict a relationship between resource distribution and the nature of female affiliative and dominance relationships. Species that mainly rely on abundant, widely distributed resources, like African savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana), are predicted to have unresolved dominance hierarchies and poorly differentiated female social relationships.
		Contrary to this prediction, female elephants have well-differentiated social relationships; however, little is known about the nature of their dominance rank relationships.
