An African forest elephant in Odzala-Kokoua National Park, Western Cuvette Department, Republic of Congo. Long listed as a subspecies, the African forest elephant is now considered to be its own species. Africa therefore has two different elephant species, the Africa savanna elephant and the African forest elephant. Does anyone know the main differences between these two species? #africanforestelephant #forestelephant #elephant #pachyderm #odzala #odzalakokoua #odzalakokouanationalpark #congo #africa #mammal #mammalsofinstagram #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifeplanet #wildlifeaddicts #wildlifeconservation #animal #animallovers #nature #naturephotography #naturelover #naturephotographer #mammal #wildlife #animal #tropicalforest #rainforest #africageo #africanparks #AfricaGeoPhoto #yourshotphotographer (at Parc National d'Odzala-Kokoua, Congo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUtGM9YgwLF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Forest Elephant According to @wwf: “Forest elephants are an elusive subspecies of African elephants and inhabit the densely wooded rainforests of west and central Africa. Their preference for dense forest habitat prohibits traditional counting methods such as visual identification. Their population is usually estimated through "dung counts"—an analysis on the ground of the density and distribution of the feces. • Forest elephants are smaller than savanna elephants, the other African elephant subspecies. Their ears are more oval-shaped ears and their tusks are straighter and point downward (the tusks of savanna elephants curve outwards). There are also differences in the size and shape of the skull and skeleton. Forest elephants are found most commonly in countries with relatively large blocks of dense forest such as Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Cameroon and Central African Republic in central Africa and Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia, and Ghana in west Africa. • Forest elephants are found in dense forests and are essential for the germination of many rain forest trees. The seeds of these trees only germinate after passing through the elephant’s digestive tract.” • #elephant #forestelephant #endangeredspecies #art #drawing #ipadpro #applepencil #line #lines #blackandwhite #animals #illustration #quarantineart #2020 #meditativeart #adobe #adobefresco #fresco #apple #vector #vectorart #vectors #digital #digitaldrawing #california #scratchboard #woodcut @adobe @adobe.fresco @behance https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPA0mqAsix/?igshid=131kh9cr3jjvi
