African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana)


Description

powerful tusks and darker skin. It roams wild over a large portion of Africa, although the eager pursuit of the ivory hunters is constantly thin-
ning the herds. This picture brings out the characteristics of this great animal with wonderful fidelity. .Elcfhas africanus.)
