#TIL: There were more subspecies of #elephants than I was aware of. We all know the Asian elephant and the African elephant (divided into the bush – or savanna – elephant and the smaller forest elephant).
But until now I was unaware of two more extinct kinds of elephants:
The Syrian elephant went extinct either 200,000 years ago or around 700 BC likely due to a change in the climate.
The North African elephant went extinct between 300 and 400 AD due to over-hunting.

Can't wait to be back with these gentle giants. I've always thoughts Elephants were interesting animals, but having observed them more closely on several trips to Africa, they have become one of my favorites.

I find this cool… a herd of elephants formed a circle around their children and teens after an earthquake hit the region to make sure they are safe from danger.

Je trouve ça génial… un troupeau d’éléphants a encerclé leurs enfants et ados après qu’un séisme a frappé la région pour s’assurer qu’ils sont hors de danger.
CBCWhen an earthquake hit, these elephants formed a protective circle around their youngest | CBC RadioWhen the ground started shaking, a herd of African elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park formed a protective barrier, known as an "alert circle," around their youngest. Experts say it's a demonstration of their sharp instincts, effective communication skills and strong family connection.

ICYMI: 
When a 5.2-magnitude #earthquake hit Southern #California on Monday, five African #elephants at #SanDiego Zoo Safari Park formed a protective "alert circle" that lasted about four minutes.
Zoo footage shows how the adults positioned themselves with backs together and faces outward while young Mkhaya ran for safety between them. Meanwhile, young Zuli stayed at the edge, receiving reassuring trunk taps from his caretaker Khosi.
