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.

Support for Creationism

One of the compelling pieces of evidence for evolution is that scientists cannot decide what elephants could have evolved from^{[Citation Needed]}. Many scientists point to the unlikely idea that elephants evolved from sea cows and water dwelling hyraxes^{[Citation Needed]}. The support for this point of view is that elephants might have used their trunks for snorkels.

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^{[Citation Needed]}.
