Els elefants, d’en Salvador Dalí. Oli en tela, 39 x 45 cm; 1948.
Bis noch vor etwa 100 Jahren waren Elefanten auf dem gesamten afrikanischen Kontinent verbreitet. Die Wilderei für den Elfenbeinhandel hat sie in weiten Gebieten ausgerottet: Afrikanische Elefanten leben heute nur noch südlich der Sahara. Der größte Bestand befindet sich im südlichen Afrika, insbesondere in Botswana.

Until about 100 years ago, elephants were common across the African continent. Poaching for the ivory trade has wiped them out in large areas: African elephants now only live south of the Sahara. The largest population is in southern Africa, especially in Botswana.
