Elephants belong to the class Mammalia.
The Asian Elephant belongs to the Mammalia category.-True Fact!-
Elephants belong to the family Elephantidae and the genus Elephas. There are three extant species of elephants: the African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), the African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus).
The African elephant has the biggest ears!The type of elephant with the biggest name has the biggest ears, the African elephant (not the Asian elephant). That's how I remember.
The name depends on the genus. For example: Subgenus Loxodonta (African elephants) Species Loxodontaafricana Genus Elephas (Eurasian elephants) Species Elephas maximus (Asian elephant)
All elephants are in Family: Elephantidae.However, a "scientific name" is the genus and species.African Bush Elephants, African Forest Elephants and Asian Elephants each have their own scientific names. Even the extinct North African Elephant has a scientific name.Kingdom: AnimalPhylum: ChordateSubphylum: VertebrateClass: MammalOrder: ProboscideaFamily: Elephantidae- African Bush Elephant - Loxodonta africana- African Forest Elephant - Loxodonta cyclotis- Asian Elephant - Elephas maximus- North African Elephant - Loxodonta africana pharaohensis *extinct*
