It is a descendent of the Mammoths or Mastodons which roamed the earth over 10,000 years ago during the Ice Age. Although elephants look very similar to one another, there are actually three different and unique species: the African Bush, African Forest, and Asian Elephant. Asian elephants tend to have a lot of hair on their bodies and have a curved spine, whereas African elephants are have large ears and tusks.
