Question: what is the difference between the african bush elephant and the african forest elephant?
Answer: Morphological differences: Forest elephants are smaller (male shoulder height is 2.4-3.0m compared to 3.2-4.0 m in bush elephants; weight is 2,000-4,000 kg cf 4,000-7,000 kg), they have more oval-shaped ears and their tusks are straighter and downward pointing (the tusks of bush elephants curve outwards).
