Elephants, of the family Elephantidae, are pachyderms and the largest living land mammals. Two primary varieties exist, the African elephant and Indian or Asian elephant. They are facing extinction due to the illegal ivory trade and poaching for their tusks.

Elephants - National Geographic

Elephants, largest of all land animals, are among the most recognizable and beloved creatures on Earth. Their ancestors once roamed most of the planet, but wild populations are now confined to decreasing swaths of land in Africa and Asia. Hunted mercilessly for their prized ivory tusks, they are under threat in most of their range from poaching, habitat loss, and human encroachment and are listed as threatened by the IUCN.
