Extractions: Sacramento, CAThe African elephant herds, placed squarely on the endangered species list for decades as the great matriarchal giants dwindled to what many thought would be eventual extinction are, it turns out, actually rebounding. Their population numbers are slightly up. They've also been taken off the "endangered" list and placed on the "threatened" list. And, ironically enough, "threatened" is exactly what they've become. Animal dealers separated thirty baby elephants from their herd in August and they're now slated for sale. South Africa is divided as the experts square off against those who would profit from the elephants' new "threatened" status. The ensuing court case could set precedence for how the elephant population will fare in the future. In the meantime, the thirty babies are being "tamed" and groomed for travel overseas.

Extractions: Different species are suited to different habitats or types of vegetation, they live where they find the other species that they feed on and where they are able to build their homes, and where they are able to protect their young. The numbers of many animal and plant species in Britain have declined in recent years due to the loss of the habitat in which they are usually found. Different habitat types are lost when we build on them to accommodate an increasing human population. Changes in the climate also affect some habitat types.

Extractions: African Elephants Photograph (42.7 K image) [US FWS Photograph By M. Westervelt] African and Asian elephants descended from a long line of giant animals that included the wooly mammoth and mastodon. The word "elephant" comes from the Greek word elephas, meaning ivory, in reference to the animal's prominent tusks, which are actually elongated incisor teeth. Excepting tusks, elephants have only four molar teeth. These teeth are replaced as they are worn away, up to six times throughout an elephant's life. The elephant's trunk is another unique and important feature. It is used not only for drinking and bathing but for smelling, breathing, feeling, and grasping food. At the end of the trunk is a sensitive "finger" for grasping things as small as a berry or as large as a branch. African elephants have two fingers while the Asian has only one. They also use their trunk as a snorkel when crossing deep rivers. Baby elephants are not born knowing how to use their trunk they must learn. Elephants live in the hot climates of Africa and Asia. To help protect themselves from the heat, elephants have large ears, with prominent veins, that they can flap to cool their blood. They must stay near water, not only for drinking, but also for bathing and cooling. In addition to mud baths, elephants also take dust baths to try to keep cool and deter insect attacks.
