The Asian or Asiatic Elephant (Elephas maximus), sometimes known by the name of one of its subspecies – the Indian Elephant, is one of the three living species of elephant, and the only living species of the genus Elephas. It is the largest living land animal in Asia. The species is found primarily in large parts of Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Indochina and parts of Indonesia. It is considered endangered, with between 25,600 and 32,750 left in the wild.
The Sri Lankan Elephant (Elephas maximus maximus) is the nominate subspecies of the Asian Elephant and is the largest of the subspecies although smaller than the two species of African elephants.
The Asian elephant is considered endangered.
This picture is taken in May 2002 in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka, before the tsunami took place.
