Question: Tyke was perforning circus animal that belongs to what genus?

Terrell Jacobs Circus Winter Quarters, also known as Pipe Creek Wild Animal Farm and Circus Winter Headquarters, is a historic circus complex and national historic district located at Pipe Creek Township, Miami County, Indiana.  The district encompasses five contributing buildings, three contributing sites, three contributing structures, and seven contributing objects related to the circus headquarters.  Most notable are the Terrell Jacobs Cat Barn (1939, 1951), Terrell Jacobs Elephant Barn (1945, 1950), and the Circus Drive-In Restaurant (1967).  Other notable contributing resources are the Elephant Rock (1901, 1940), Jacobs Bridge (c. 1940), six Cole Brothers Circus Wagons (c. 1950), creek landscape and Wallace Grotto (1944-1949), and the wild animal graveyard (c. 1945-1970).  The property was the site of the birth of , a captive white tiger. <SEP>  On August 20, 1994, during a performance at the Neal Blaisdell Center, she killed her trainer, Allen Campbell, and seriously injured her groomer, Dallas Beckwith. Tyke (1974 – August 20, 1994) was an African elephant from Mozambique who performed with Circus International of Honolulu, Hawaii.  Tyke then bolted from the arena and ran through the streets of the Kakaako central business district for more than thirty minutes.  Unable to calm the elephant, local police eventually opened fire on the animal, which eventually collapsed from the wounds and died.  While the majority of the attack in the arena was recorded on consumer videotape by several spectators, additional professional video footage captured the attack on local publicist Steve Hirano and the shooting of Tyke herself (both of which took place outside of the building). <SEP> Allen Campbell (December 30, 1956 - August 20, 1994) was a zookeeper and elephant trainer and handler in his hometown of Jacksonville, Florida before moving to work in the Baton Rouge Zoo in the mid-1970s as the elephant keeper and trainer.  He also ran the first elephant ride there.  He advanced elephant care at the Baton Rouge Zoo by insisting that all of the elephants not just should but must be fed and watered and their enclosure cleaned every night as well as every day.  He usually did this himself and was known to be a workaholic.  He contracted to run the elephant ride and provide a baby elephant mascot for the Denver Zoo in 1986.  He worked as an elephant consultant for many zoos including the National Zoo in Washington, D.C.  He was heavily influenced by circus trainer Rex Williams and his life's ambition was to have a circus elephant act.  He eventually worked as an elephant trainer for The Hawthorn Corporation.  Campbell was crushed to death on August 20, 1994, at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, after attempting to save fellow co-worker Dallas Beckwith from the performing elephant "Tyke", who had run amok.  This is the same elephant that, according to USDA and Canadian law enforcement documents, while performing with Tarzan Zerbini Circus, "The elephant handler was observed beating the elephant in public to the point [where] the elephant was screaming and bending down on three legs to avoid being hit.  Even when the handler walked by the elephant after this, the elephant screamed and veered away, demonstrating fear from his presence." <SEP>  The genus consists of two extant species: the African bush elephant, "L. africana", and the smaller African forest elephant, "L. cyclotis".  "Loxodonta" is one of two existing genera of the family Elephantidae. African elephants are elephants of the genus Loxodonta, from Greek λοξός ("loxós" 'slanting, crosswise, oblique sided') + ὀδούς ("odoús", stem odónt-, 'tooth').  Fossil remains of "Loxodonta" have been found only in Africa, in strata as old as the middle Pliocene.  However, sequence analysis of DNA extracted from fossils of an extinct elephant species undermines the validity of the genus.
