There are two primary types of elephants. The African elephant and the Asian Elephant. Sadly, there are none in Europe or the Americas...

The Sri Lanka elephant is definitely an Asian Elephant. It has smaller ears comparedto the African Elephants.

One distinguishing way to tell thhem apart is that he African Elephant's ears are shaped like the African Continent and the Asian Elephant's eras are shaped like the Indian Sub continent (India)...
