Elephas

look into this issue. Asian elephants have been transferred to captivity for quite some time in the North American region. The Elephas maximus have been captured from these countries in southern Asia and brought over to North America and have experienced many complications that can hinder the genetic diversity of the evolution of the species. Captive populations of the Elephas maximus species may be essential for genetic preservation and aid in decreasing the deterioration of the authentic population

animal whose continued existence is being threatened due to conflict with humans. The Sumatran elephant’s scientific name is Elephas Maximus Sumatranus, and it is a subspecies of the Asian Elephant. The Sumatran elephant is in the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Chordata, the class Mammalia, the order Proboscidea, the family Elephantidae, the genus Elephas, and the species Elephas Maximus. At 6,500 to 11,000 pounds, the Sumatran elephant is a truly massive creature. Even young elephants can weigh up to

A generalist and a specialist, they may seem like complete opposites but are they? A generalist can survive in a myriad of conditions oppose to a specialist, they can only thrive when certain requirements are reached. Although a generalist appears to be entirely different from a specialist they still both have similarities. This can be shown by the comparison of a Crab Spider and an Elephant.     A Crab Spider and an Elephant have a lot of  sharp distinctions between each

In areas of the world where economic development has been in delicate balance with protecting wildlife and natural environments, conflict has arisen between humans and the wildlife. In Africa (bless the rains) and Asia habitat is being replaced by small scale agricultural needs, and agribusiness (1) resulting in human–wildlife conflict; within India alone as many as 1144 people were killed between April 2014 and May 2017 (2) according to their environment ministry. This increased conflict between

I did research on the Asian Elephants which is also known as Elephas Maximus which is the scientific name. These animals are now known as an endangered species. This means a species of plants or animals that is seriously at risk of extinction. Today I will explain many different things about the elephants including their description, habitat, diet, the threats and causes of endangerment, and last but not least their status today. An Asian Elephant is six and a half feet tall, twenty-one feet long

because it would be too late, people would have already killed them all. Elephants would travel in herds of families, to form a herd it would be from 8-100 individuals. There are only two different types of species, the Elephas Maximus and the Loxodonta cyclotis elephants. The Elephas Maximus were Asian and African savanna elephants. The Loxodonta cyclotis were African forest elephants. Babies would hold onto their moms tails because they would be trained to do so. People thought it was cute to see

produced a study that examined the later-life consequences of breeding on a population, particularly breeding early in life. Hayward et al. also used the Myanmar timber camp Elephas maximus to perform the research, looking at the records of 416 reproductive captive born mothers and their offspring. The elephants used were from 8 regions of the Myanmar timber camps with the youngest breeding being 5 years of age and the oldest

1. Title: Asian Elephant-Elephas Maximus 2. Purpose: To learn how and why the Asian Elephant got on the endangered species list. Elephants are one of the largest land mammals in the world and they have been targets to man and other animals. 3. Background: My overall background the Asian Elephant is very limited. I know that they come from Asian and many were hunter for their tusks. You can find a few Asian Elephants at the local zoos and there is always controversy on elephants and the

Reproduction of Female Elephants Basic anatomy and physiology, artificial insemination, parturition, and social aspects of reproduction Introduction The study and research of reproduction in elephants is increasingly critical in consideration of the quickly dwindling population numbers and estimates. The current Asian elephant population is estimated to lie between 50,000-70,000 across the world, with 15,000 of these individuals in captivity. African elephant population numbers are low as well after

Pollutants are impacting aquatic organisms distributed by daily human activities and natural occurrences. An extensive amount of pollutants such as pesticides, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons can result in direct significant damage, e.g. death. However lower levels of these harmful substances can be stored in an organism and increase as it continues and follows up the food chain, a process called biomagnification or bioaccumulation, having the greatest effect on the top predator of that food chain
