Three species of elephant are generally recognized today: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant and the Asian elephant (also known as the Indian elephant). However, some researchers postulate the existence of a fourth species of elephant in West Africa.

All other species and genera of Elephantidae are extinct.
Most have been extinct since the last ice age, although dwarf forms of mammoths might have survived as late as 2,000 BCE

Elephants are the largest living land animals on Earth today. The elephant's gestation period is 22 months, the longest of any land animal.
At birth, an elephant calf typically weighs 105 kilograms (230 lb)
