There are two species of elephant the Asian (also called Indian) elephant, Elephas maximtis, and the African elephant, Loxodonta africana, which has two subspecies the savannah (Fig. 3.1) and the forest elephant. All belong to the family Elephantidae.

Many similarities exist between the lifestyles and behaviors of Loxodonta africana and Elephas maximus, two of the three extant species of elephants (Sukumar, 2003 Poole, 1987, 1989a,b Rasmussen and Krishnamurthy, 2000 Rasmussen and Schulte, 1998). While the roles of olfaction and the chemical senses in Asian elephant society have been extensively investigated (Rasmussen and Greenwood, 2003 Rasmussen et al, 1997, 2002), similar investigations in the African species are limited to recent studies of chemical signals among males (Rasmussen and Wittemyer, 2002).
