Upper incisor teeth develop into tusks in African elephants and grow throughout their lifetime. There are two subspecies of African elephantsâthe Savanna (or bush) elephant and the Forest elephant. Savanna elephants are larger than forest elephants, and their tusks curve outwards. In addition to being smaller, forest elephants are darker and their tusks are straighter and point downward. There are also differences in the size and shape of the skull and skeleton between the two subspecies.
They are found throughout the grassy plains and bushlands of Africa. Savanna elephants live in eastern and southern Africa, where the highest densities are found in Botswana, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Namibia, Mozambique and South Africa.As a result of their visibility within the open areas where they live, Savanna elephants are well studied and populations are easily estimated.avanna elephants live in eastern and southern Africa, where the highest densities are found in Botswana, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Namibia, Mozambique and South Africa.
