An African elephant looks like a regular elephant but bigger

There are two types of African elephants--the Bush and the Forest. In comparison with the Bush elephant the Forest elephant has a longer and narrower mandible, rounder ears, a different number of toenails, straighter and downward tusks, and considerably smaller size.
