Loxodonta africana, commonly known as the African elephant, is characterized by its large size, with males weighing up to 6 tons and standing up to 13 feet tall. They have distinctive large ears that help regulate their body temperature, long trunks used for feeding and social interactions, and tusks that are used for digging and foraging. African elephants exhibit complex social structures, living in matriarchal herds led by older females. They are also known for their intelligence, strong memory, and ability to communicate over long distances.

Species characteristics are traits shared by all members of a species, such as genetic makeup, reproductive strategy, and physical appearance. Individual characteristics vary among members of the same species and can include unique traits like behavior, size, age, and health status.
Behavioral and physiological adaptations are two characteristics of generalist species. A generalist species can adapt to different environments and resources. Animals that are omnivores are often generalists species.
Characteristics used to classify a species include physical traits, genetic differences, behavior, habitat, and evolutionary history. Scientists often use a combination of these characteristics to determine how species are related and place them into taxonomic groups.

The species name for Africana varies depending on the specific organism in question. For example, the African bush elephant's species name is Loxodonta africana, while the scientific name for the African lion is Panthera leo.
