Description

The African Bush Elephant has his own playground at Disney's Animal Kingdom while on the Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction.

The African Bush Elephants are the largest living terrestrial animals, being up to 3.96 m (13.0 ft) tall at the shoulders (a male shot in 1974).

On average, males are 3.3 metres (10.8 ft) tall at the shoulders and 5.5 tonnes (12,130 lb) in weight, while females are much smaller at 2.8 metres (9.2 ft) tall and 3.7 tonnes (8,160 lb) in weight.

The most characteristic features of African elephants are their very large ears, which they use to radiate excess heat and their trunk, an extension of the upper lip and nose with two opposing extensions at its end, different from the Asian elephant, which only has one.

The trunk is used for communication and handling objects and food. African elephants also have bigger tusks, large modified incisors that grow throughout an elephant's lifetime.

They occur in both males and females and are used in fights and for marking, feeding, and digging.
