The Loxodonta, commonly known as the African elephant, is characterized by its large size, with males typically weighing between 10,000 to 14,000 pounds. It has a distinctive appearance featuring large, fan-like ears, a long trunk that serves multiple functions, and long tusks that can grow several feet long. The skin is thick and gray, often appearing wrinkled, which helps retain moisture. African elephants also have a more rounded back compared to their Asian counterparts.
