African elephants

Scientific name: Loxodonta africana 

The African elephant is the largest animal walking on earth. Found in 37 African countries, they are majestic creatures, easily distinguished by their large ears and trunk.

The African elephant has two family members – the savanna (or bush) elephant and the forest elephant. The savanna elephant lives in the open plains of Africa, whilst the forest elephant lives in the huge rainforests of Africa.

Here at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm we are home to the largest elephant facility in the UK, Elephant Eden. The state-of-the-art 20-acre habitat has its own swimming pool, heated indoor barn, sand yards, expansive fields and large willow plantation.
