The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), is the larger of two species of African elephants. African elephants are found widely in Sub-Saharan Africa, in dense forests, mopane and miombo woodlands, Sahelian scrub, or deserts. The elephant has few predators, but still remains to be labeled an endangered species, mostly because of poaching. Their roaming has been limited to only specific areas, since they have been known for destruction of crops and landscape in certain areas. However they still travel in herds, with females being the primary leaders. (wikipedia.org)
