------------------------------------

Not quite :-)

Traditionally the answer to this question would be:-

The African elephant (Loxodonta Africana)

and the Asian Elephant (Elephas Maximus)

However, it is becoming clear that there are more than just two species.

In a report in Science magazine (Vol. 293, 24 August 2001) researchers studying DNA sequences from nearly 200 African elephants found genetic distinctions that they argue warrant separation of African elephants into two distinct species: those inhabiting the Savannah (Loxodonta africana) and the smaller elephants in Africa's tropical forests (Loxodonta cyclotis).

It is also clear the pygmy Elephants (Elephas maximus borneensis) on the island of Borneo are so different from their African and Asian cousins that they have been given a species category of their own.

Thus it would appear that there a 4 species of elephant!
