African elephants are the elephants
of the genus
Loxodonta (Greek for 'oblique-sided tooth'), consisting of two extant
species, the African bush elephant
and the smaller African forest elephant
. Loxodonta is one of the two existing genera in the family Elephantidae
. Although it is commonly believed that the genus was named by Georges Cuvier
in 1825, Cuvier spelled it Loxodonte. An anonymous author romanized the spelling to Loxodonta and the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
(ICZN) recognizes this as the proper authority.
