	African Forest Elephant - Loxodonta cyclotis
		The new species, the forest elephant, was considered to be a subspecies of the African elephant, and was known as Loxodonta africana cyclotis.
		That means scientists thought that, although the elephants had adapted to their forest habitat, they were still savanna elephants.
		The forest elephant, now known as Loxodonta cyclotis,found its niche in the equatorial forests of central and western Africa.

	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.
		cyclotis and L. africana interbred where their ranges overlapped; thus their differences could, by the "mate-recognition" concept of a species, be only "sub" specific.
		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.

	Forest elephant - Loxodonta cyclotis - ARKive
		Status: Classified as Vulnerable (VU A2a) on the IUCN Red List 2004, listed on Appendix II of CITES and Appendix II of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS or Bonn Convention).
		The forest elephant is listed under these as a subspecies of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana).
		For this reason, the Red List assessment is for the single species, encompassing both forest and savanna populations.

	Pygmy Elephant Stamps
		The African elephant Loxodonta africana is the largest known living land amimal in the world.
		The less familiar African forest elephant Loxodonta africana cyclotis is smaller and darker in color, averaging two and two thirds meters at the shoulder in height.
		The revised scientific names would retain Loxodonta africana for the bush elephant but assign Loxodonta cyclotis to the forest elephant.

	Elephant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		African elephants have a dipped back, as compared with the Asian species, and have two "fingers" at the tip of their trunks, as opposed to only one.
		There are two populations of African elephants, savanna and forest, and recent genetic studies have led to a reclassification of these as separate species, the forest population now being called Loxodonta cyclotis, and the savanna or bush population termed Loxodonta africanus.
		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.

	Desert Elephant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		This versatility is demonstrated in Namibia by all the fauna that survives here, from the smallest beetle that lives in the vast 'sand sea' of the Namib to the world's largest land mammal, the elephant.
		The Desert Elephant, which belong to the savanna elephant subspecies (Loxodonta africana cyclotis), are a protected species.
		However there have been incidents of poaching and in the early 1980's the number of desert elephants and rhinos declined to alarmingly low levels.

	Elephants
		The Savanna Elephant ranges across the east and south African veldt; the recent population estimate is 350,000.
		In the deep forests of central and west Africa lives a second species, the Forest Elephant Loxodonta cyclotis.
		It is decidedly smaller than Savanna Elephant and much more difficult to see in its heavily-wooded habitat.

	Forest Elephant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Until recently, it was thought that the Forest Elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) was simply a subspecies of the African Savannah Elephant (Loxodonta africana).
		Nevertheless, the remaining differences would have been sufficient to assign species rank to the Forest Elephant, had it not been observed that the two populations interbreed where their ranges overlap.
		In consequence, the Forest Elephant was listed as a subspecies, Loxodonta africana cyclotis.

	The Elephant Listening Project
		The importance of this work extends to conservation as these elephants are few in number and increasingly endangered.
		Found in central and west Africa, forest elephants are considered a distinct species (Loxodonta cyclotis) with between 24,000 and 209,000 individuals remaining.
		Forest elephants, like their savanna cousins, organize socially around a matrilineal family unit, composed of closely related females and their offspring..
