African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) and Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus). Some people now think there are three species of Elephant, treating the two races of African Elephant as separate species.
They were hunted mainly for the tusks they carry, to feed the ivory trade. The African elephant species (there are two, the savannah elephant, and the smaller forest elephant) are now listed as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN.

Carthage used a species of elephant called the North African Elephant (Loxodonta africana pharaoensis) as war elephants against the Romans in the Punic Wars. They were a bit smaller than the existing African bush elephants, which made them a little bit faster. They were also used as war elephants by the Ancient Egyptians against the Seleucid Empire. The North African Elephant is now extinct and has been since around 100AD. Fossils of this elephant are rare to find, we have mostly learnt of their existence through Roman writings and several archaeologically recovered Roman bronze statues of them.

There were once millions of these animals in Africa and India but now their numbers have been greatly reduced. They are endangered because of two reasons:Hunting & Poaching - Trophy Hunting and Ivory Poaching is the main reason for the decline in numbers of African elephants. There were once millions of these animals and now only a few thousand surviveHabitat Loss - As human numbers grew, people started settling into forests and that has also affected elephant populations.The forest elephant is a subspecies of the African elephant, being somewhat smaller than the more common African bush elephant.
They live in all states now, dude. They have for a long time.
