It is a genus of elephants in the family Elephantidae, named by Baron Georges Cuvier in 1825. African elephants are the largest mammals on land, with males and females exhibiting a binary sex. Adult African male elephants are taller than 3.5 meters and can reach a maximum height of 4.1 meters. The weight is approximately 2.7 to 6 tons, with females being smaller than males and the heaviest recorded being 13.5 tons. Their longest recorded tooth weighs 102.7 kilograms. Countless African elephants have been killed because of their ivory. African elephants are listed in Appendix I of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (CITES).
