Elephants are large mammals of the household Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Two species are usually typically recognised, the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), although some evidence shows that African bush elephants and African forest elephants are distinct species All elephants have several distinctive features the most known of which is a extended trunk or proboscis, used for many purposes, especially breathing, lifting water and grasping objects. Their incisors grow into tusks, which can serve as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging. Elephants' significant ear flaps help control their body temperature. Their pillar-like legs can carry their great excess weight. African elephants possess bigger ears and concave backs while Asian elephants have smaller ears and convex or level backs. Elephants might be herbivorous and may be within different habitats including savannahs, forests, deserts and marshes. They prefer to stay near water. They're regarded as keystone species because of their effect on their environments. Other animals have a tendency to keep their range, predators such as lions, tigers, hyenas and wild dogs usually target just the fresh elephants.
