Evolution Series: A Parade of Elephants

Elephants are part of a very ancient lineage of mammals, Their small, semi-aquatic ancestors evolved an effective fifth limb and gave rise to some of the biggest land animals of all time.

*The animals represented here are not to scale and don’t represent a direct line of descent, but rather plausible models for how this amazing transition happened.*

DNA from extinct species forces rethink of elephants’ family tree.

Major takeaways

African forest elephants are more closely related to the extinct European straight-tusked forest elephants than to the other moden elephants it shares the same continent with. (though they can form hybrids)

Elephants mated with different species alot. The straight tusked elephants hybridized with both Asian elephants and wooly mammoths.

(wouldn’t this make African forest elephants more closely related to Asian elephants than to the african bush elephants?)
