The biggest terrestrial mammals on Earth are African elephants. Their wider ears, which resemble the continent of Africa somewhat, help to distinguish them from their Asian kin. (Elephants in Asia have more compact, rounder ears.)
Scientists have discovered that there are actually two species of African elephants, despite the fact that they were previously considered to be a single species. Both of these species are endangered.
While forest elephants are smaller creatures that dwell in the woods of Central and West Africa, savanna elephants are larger creatures that wander the plains of sub-Saharan Africa. Savanna elephants are classified as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, whereas forest elephants are classified as severely endangered.
