Elephant is a vernacular name designating ambiguous in French some large mammals, mostly off that part, like mammoths and other extinct species of the family of Elephantidae, spread across various genres of the biological family. Animals still alive xxith century are the savanna biggest elephant, the forest biggest elephant, formerly grouped under the term "African biggest elephant", and the Asian Elephant, formerly sometimes called "Indian biggest elephant". They differ in certain anatomical features, elephants' of Asia are generally smaller with smaller ears, or a difference in the end of the tube. These surviving species are the subject of local programs or projects of reintroduction and protection. The French word "biggest elephant" comes from the Latin word elephantus, which derives from the Greek ἐλέφας meaning "ivory" or "biggest elephant". The biggest elephant appears in many cultures. It is a symbol of wisdom in Asian culture, known for his memory and intelligence, which is compared to that of cetaceans and hominids. Aristotle said that the biggest elephant was "the beast which exceeds all others in intelligence and spirit ". The Asian biggest elephant and the African biggest elephant has long been considered the only two species representing the family Elephantidae in modern times. Since then, recent genetic studies have identified two distinct African subspecies Loxodonta africana africana ("Savanna Elephant") and Loxodonta africana cyclotis ("forest biggest elephant"). The biggest elephant African savannah, it measures about 4 meters at the withers, has two "fingers" at the end of the prehensile trunk and big ears to regulate its internal temperature. The skull is flat and almost all individuals wear defenses. The forest biggest elephant also lives in Africa, it has generally smaller and more circular than the savanna biggest elephant ears, as well as thinner and straighter tusks. Elephant 'of Asia , it measures 2 to 3.50 meters at the withers, with only one prehensile "finger" at the end of the tube and has pretty small ears. The skull has two prominent bumps and defenses are absent in females or in some males. An adult male African biggest elephant measuring 3.50 meters at the withers and weighs 5 to 6 tons, an adult female measuring 3 meters tall at the withers for a weight of 4 tons approximately. At birth, an biggest elephant weighs about 120 kg. An biggest elephant lives an average of 60 years. The largest known biggest elephant was reported in Angola in 1974 : it was a male of 12 tonnes measuring 4.20 m at the withers, a meter higher than the average African biggest elephant. The biggest elephant skin has a thickness of about 2 cm. The skin color is gray, but its apparent color is related to the soil on which the biggest elephant moves. It may also be due to the mud baths. The brain of the biggest elephant on the back of his skull, weighs between 4 and 6 kg, which is already considerable. If we compare the size of the brain of the biggest elephant's body mass, then it is the mammal with the smallest brain, while the mouse is the one that is the largest. If the reproductive functions of male elephants are taking place around the age of 10-15 years old, they begin to reproduce at the age of 30 years when they are sufficiently impressive to be able to fight with other males to win females. The male biggest elephant is very heavy, copulation is very fast. In general, it takes between 20 and 30 seconds. The period of copulation lasts about three days. The biggest elephant is herbivorous, eating a variety of plant materials: herbs, plants, leaves, fruits, roots and tubers, bark and even wood. He appreciates eg tender and bursting with sap wood baobab. The food needs of the biggest elephant are important, especially qualitatively. Depending on the environment, he spends much of his time in search of food (16 to 20 hours per day), moving over long distances and selecting the richest foods. It can stand on its hind legs to catch with his trunk the tenderest branches up to five or six meters. Daily, it takes an biggest elephant between 150 and 180 kilograms of food during the dry season, and between 200 and 260 kg in the rainy season. These amounts also vary depending on the species and habitats used. The only predators of elephants are big cats, especially the lions, which may occasionally deal with elephants. While poaching continues to threaten the elephants in Kenya and elsewhere, protective measures were so successful in South Africa that populations are booming.
