The African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) is one of the 3 living species of elephants. It is native to humid rainforests in the Congo Basin and West Africa. It is the smallest of the 3 living elephants. Like it's savanna relative, both sexes have tusks, which comes out once they are 1-3 years old. It lives in groups of up to 20 individuals.
