Field Notes
Description:
The African Bush Elephant or African Savanna Elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the larger of the two species of African elephant. Both it and the African Forest Elephant have usually been classified as a single species, known simply as the African Elephant. Some authorities still consider the currently available evidence insufficient for splitting the African Elephant into two species. It is also known as the Bush Elephant.
Habitat:
Amsterdam zoo
Notes:
The baby was born about 3 weeks ago. Lovely to see how it's stumbling around.
