    Looks like Loango here. Spent some time in Gabon back in 2006. Loango, Lope, a couple of days at the WWF station in Ivindo (elephants, sitatunga, gorillas...great place, but difficult to access).
    Fabulous country. Best-kept secret in Africa.

      Even worse, the bull looked like it was in musth. Look closely down the elephants face and you will see a dark liquid that is running down the elephants face along with digging its tusks to the ground as a dominance sign at 0:20.

      There’s a bit of a taxonomical debate on whether the African Forest elephant should belong to a prehistoric genus with the straight Tusked elephants (Palaeoloxdon) or whether it should remain the same genus as the bush elephant (Loxodonta)
      Also the genus Palaeoloxdon had not only the largest elephants to ever exist, but also the smallest

    • @KahanuErmeyas-Tulu
      @KahanuErmeyas-Tulu 5 місяців тому

      @@Lord_of_ProboscideaNope, there is no debate. There was just some apparent hybridization between African Forest Elephants and Straight Tusked Elephants during the middle Pleistocene. That’s all. The African Forest Elephant definitely belongs to the genus Loxodonta.

    The African rain-wood elephant’s genus name Loxodonta means slanting tooth and re means round-eared and refers to how its earsfers to the diamond-shaped ridges in its molars while its species name cyclotis means round-eared and refers to how its ears are rounder than those of the African bush or plains elephant. By rain wood, I mean a “rainforest.” By rain-wood elephant, I mean a “forest” elephant. Can you believe that?
