Only three species of elephants still live today. These include the African Forest Elephant, African Bush Elephant, and the Asian Elephant, which is also known as the Indian Elephant.
The African Bush Elephant has a short and wide mandible compared to the African Forest Elephant whose mandible is long and narrow. Also the ears of the latter elephant is more rounded and their tusks are straighter and point more downwards than the former elephant. The Asian Elephant is the smallest of the three species.
Between the three species of elephants, their hind feet usually have three to four toenails while their front can have four to five toenails.
