Elephants are the world's largest terrestrial mammals. The African bush elephant, African forest elephant, and Asian elephant are the three living species currently recognized. Asian elephants have smaller ears and convex or level backs, while African elephants have larger ears and concave backs. The distinctive features of all elephants include a long proboscis called a trunk, tusks, large ear flaps, massive legs, and tough but sensitive skin. Breathing, transporting food and drink to the mouth, and gripping items are all done by the trunk. Tusks are made of incisor teeth and are used as weapons as well as instruments for moving items and excavating. The big ear flaps aid communication as well as maintaining a consistent body temperature. The massive weight is supported by pillar-like legs.
