Best Answer

'Elephant' is a Family of organisms rather than a single species.

Kingdom - Animalia,
Phylum - Chordata,
Class - Mammalia,
Order - Proboscidea,
Family - Elephantidae,

Everything within this family is an 'elephant'.

You've then got the Genus Elephas for Asian Elephants, Elephas maximus indicus (subspecies) is the Indian Elephant, the most commonly known. There is also the Genus Loxodonta, the African elephant, aka Loxodonta africana
kingdom- Animaliaphylum- Chordataclass- Mammaliaorder- Proboscidaefamily- Elephantidae genus- depends on the elephant (African = loxodonta; Asian = Elephas) species-depends on the elephant (African = africana; Asian = maximus).
