'''Elephants''' are the world's largest land animals. There are many different kinds of elephant--Asian and African. Asian elephants have smaller ears than African elephants, and are smaller in general, so can thus be distinguished.
  
The elephant (Elephantidae) belongs to the family of pachyderm, and the only remaining family in the order Proboscidea in the class Mammalia. Elephantidae has three living species: the African Bush Elephant, the African Forest Elephant (until recently known collectively as the African Elephant), and the Asian Elephant (also known as the Indian Elephant).

The population of elephants has tripled in size from January to June during 2006 - but liberal environmentalists will not have you believe this. Growth in elephant population was achieved thanks to conservative political commentator Stephen Colbert fathering over 1,000 elephant pups. Others believe that God is responsible for the recent unforeseen population growth of the African elephant. After President Bush prayed for the elephants, God supposedly did this in order to help America with the ivory drought of 2005.<ref>http://www.wikiality.com/Elephant</ref>
  
Elephants are mammals, and the largest land animals alive today. The elephant's gestation period is 22 months, the longest of any land animal. At birth it is common for an elephant calf to weigh 120 kg (265 lb). An elephant may live as long as 70 years, sometimes longer. The largest elephant ever recorded was shot in Angola in 1956. It was male and weighed about 12,000 kg (26,400 lb), with a shoulder height of 4.2m, a meter taller than the average male African elephant.

Elephants are the world's largest land animals. There are many different kinds of elephant--Asian and African. Asian elephants have smaller ears than African elephants, and are smaller in general, so can thus be distinguished.

The population of elephants has tripled in size from January to June during 2006 - but liberal environmentalists will not have you believe this. Growth in elephant population was achieved thanks to conservative political commentator Stephen Colbert fathering over 1,000 elephant pups. Others believe that God is responsible for the recent unforeseen population growth of the African elephant. After President Bush prayed for the elephants, God supposedly did this in order to help America with the ivory drought of 2005.[1]

In the past, there were many different types of elephants like mammoths and mastodons, but most creationists say that these species never made it onto the ark and that these species perished with the dinosaurs. Another theory is that God placed all elephants on Earth 6010 years ago to replace the Woolly mammoths and mastadons, which hadn't been working out so well.[2]
