Elusive and shy, each encounter with the African Forest Elephant is a gift bestowed upon you by the forest. The experience will leave you changed. But, like all elephants in Africa, they are under threat. This species is difficult to protect due to their dense habitat, elusive nature and the lowest reproductive rate out of all 3 elephant species.  Visiting areas that protect these animals contributes towards their conservation.  #originsafaris #africa #travel #DemocraticRepublicoftheCongo #drc Forest Elephant, Elephant Species, Forest Images, African Forest, Dumbo The Elephant, African Forest Elephant, Elephant Cute, Beauty Of Africa, Endangered Wildlife

CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH GIANT TUSKER ELEPHANT – Lerai Forest in the world famous Ngorongoro Crater is home to some of the largest bull tusker elephants in Africa. The elephants in the Crater are unique in that they are predominantly old bulls flaunting giant ivory tusks. They survived the pre-ivory ban days in the 1980s when many large tuskers outside the relative safety of the Crater were poached. #tanzaniaunforgettable #serengeti #africansafari #wildlifeonearth Nursery Elephant Theme, Tusker Elephant, Tattoos Elephant, Drawing Elephant, Africa Elephant, Elephant Photo, Tattoo Elephant, African Forest Elephant, Elephant Themed Nursery

African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) are an entirely different species from savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) and therefore have several differences. Until recently, the forest elephant was considered a subspecies of the African savanna elephant; however, scientists have found significant genetic differences in the last few years.
