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.

Straighter, harder ivory; a longer mandible; rounder ears; a longer tail; and an additional toenail on each foot (5 on the front and 4 on the back) are some of the readily visible differences.
