Compages ossium Loxondontae africanae


Tres elephantidarum species hodie exsistunt: Elephas maximus, Loxodonta cyclotis, et Loxodonta africana. Omnes aliae species et genera elephantidarum sunt exstincta, aliqua post ultimam aetatem glacialem: mammuthi nani fortasse usque ad 2000 a.C.n. exstabant.[1] Omnes elephantidae cum aliis animalibus quae cutem crassem habent olim descriptae sunt in ordine Pachydermatis, nunc invalido.


Maxima animalia mammifera terrestria sunt elephanti. Maximus elephas de quo scimus in Angolia sclopetatus est anno 1974; circa 12 000 chiliogrammata pondere fuit.
