...Zimbabwe has an elephant population of 84,000 and can cater to only 50,000, the country's President Emmerson Mnangagwa said. Elephants, the largest existing land animals, are mammals of the family Elephantidae. Three species are currently recognised: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. Elephantidae is the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea; extinct members include the mastodons.
