Fun fact: Asian elephants (elephas) are more closely related to mammoths than to African elephants (loxodonta). Loxodonta branched off from elephantina, which branched into palaeloxodon and elephantina. Elephantina branched into elephas and mammuthus, which makes african elephants far related from the asian elephants
