@2 You should read more than one article before declaring these murderous beasts to be harmonious role models, I would start by learning about elephant musth cycles.

You seem to be misquoting the linked article in the first “fun fact”. The comparison in the quoted article talks about two populations (or species) of African elephants — the one in the forests and the one in the open Savannah — not the African and Asian elephants.

Even more surprising was the discovery that, according to DNA, African forest elephants and African savanna elephants, sometimes considered two populations of the same species, are two separate species as far removed from each other in evolutionary time as are Asian elephants and woolly mammoths.

Excellent! For elephant lovers: read “The Elephant Whisperer: My Life with the Herd in the African Wild” by Lawrence Anthony.
