African Elephants are the largest land animals known to man. They are often hunted and poached for their tusks. These elephants are also considered highly intelligent as they share many evolutionary traits with humans.
There are only two species of elephants, the African elephant and the Asian elephant. There is some evidence that the African bush elephants and the African forest elephants are separate species, however, they both live in sub-Saharan Africa. Asian elephants live in South Asia and Southeast Asia.
Yes. Some tribes that live in the African Forests hunt various animals for food. This includes the Elephants also. But, this is not the biggest threat to African Elephants. Poachers who kill them for their Tusks have killed thousands of Elephants.
There are two kinds of African elephants: (1) the African bush elephant; and (2) the African forest elephant.

some differences in African and Asian elephants is that: African elephants weigh up to 4000 - 7000 kg and have a height of about 3 - 4m, though Asian elephants only weigh about 3000 - 6000 kg and have a height of 2 - 3 and a half metres. African elephants skin is a lot darker and more wrinkled, where as Asian elephants have lighter and smoother skin. African elephants have a concave back, where Asian elephants have a straight or slightly humped back. African Elephants have a sloped head, with no bumps, bulges or denses. Where as Asian elephants have rounded heads with some bumbs and have a dint on the top of their head. African Elephants have larger ears with a size of 4m, and the ears cover its neck. Where as Asian elephants have smaller ears and it doesn't cover its neck. In African elephants, both male and female elephants have tusks, though male elephants tusks are larger. Though with Asian elephants, yes the males grow tusks as well, but the females don't. And if they do, they are barely visible anyways. Also on the end of a African elephants trunk, it has two fingers. Though Asian elephants only have one finger. ( These are true facts, I got them off my science teacher who specialises in differences found in similar mammals. )
There are about 470,000 living African elephants at this time.
Yes, african elephants are slightly larger than asian elephants. Male African elephants reach about 4m whereas male Asian elephants reach 3.5m.
