The Asian elephant, Elephas maximus, is smaller than the African. It has smaller ears, and typically, only the males have large external tusks.
The world population of Asian elephants – also called Indian Elephants – is estimated to be around 60,000, about a tenth of the number
of African elephants. More precisely, it is estimated that there are between 38,000 and 53,000 wild elephants and between 14,500 and
15,300 domesticated elephants in Asia with perhaps another 1,000 scattered around zoos in the rest of the world.
The Asian elephants' decline has possibly been more gradual than the African and caused primarily by poaching and
habitat destruction by human encroachment.
