The African Forest Elephant, or Loxodonta Cyclotis, is a small elephant, males reaching three metres in height and females reaching two and a half metres. Their ears are more oval shaped than other African subspecies of elephants. This suits their height more when they fan themselves. Unlike Savana Elephants who have curved tusks, Forest Elephants have straighter tusks that point downward. They can grow up to nearly one and a half metres in length and generally weigh between fifty and one hundred pounds.
