(Photos in this post by Tavarua)We all grew up reading the "Histoire de Babar le petit elephant" by Jean de Brunhoff (French author and illustrator (1899-1937).
.
Loxodonta africana - perhaps he will be a Great Elephant........the African elephant is larger than the Asian...and if you look at the elephants ears you will observe that they resemble an African map. .
He has tusks which, are 5 to 9 feet long with a weight between 50 to 100 pounds (each), majestic, wise, he never forgets, he will definitely charge in the wild....does not like to be disturbed..no intruders..and when he gets angry he gets real angry...and if you loose your nerves...that is okay. Hunting him in the thick cover and "wait-a-bit-thorn is consider one of the classics of "Big Game Hunting" ....
Loxodonta africana - 8000 to 15000 pounds........that is a great elephant.
