The genus consists of two extant species: the African bush elephant and the smaller African forest elephant. Loxodonta is one of two existing genera of the family, Elephantidae. Fossil remains of Loxodonta have been found only in Africa, in strata as old as the middle Pliocene.One species of African elephant, the bush elephant, is the largest living terrestrial animal, while the forest elephant is the third largest. Their thickset bodies rest on stocky legs, and they have concave backs. Their large ears enable heat loss. The upper lip and nose form a trunk. The trunk acts as a fifth limb, a sound amplifier, and an important method of touch. African elephants' trunks end in two opposing lips, whereas the Asian elephant trunk ends in a single lip. In L. africana, males stand 3.2¿4.0 m (10¿13 ft) tall at the shoulder and weigh 4,700¿6,048 kg (10,360¿13,330 lb), while females stand 2.2¿2.6 m (7¿9 ft) tall and weigh 2,160¿3,232 kg (4,762¿7,125 lb); L. cyclotis is smaller with male shoulder heights of up to 2.5 m (8 ft). The largest recorded individual stood four metres (13.1 ft) at the shoulders and weighed 10 tonnes (10 long tons; 11 short tons). ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

MS 66 Nelson Mandela KM-116 2000 Somalia 250Sh Tri - Metal NGC Graded coin.                Nelson Mandela depicted in Somali Coins Madiba coins in Somalia Originally uploaded by makhezulu. By Tula Dlamini With no proper functioning central government, Somalia remains a country in a state of paralysis. In the last months of 2000, however, a group of Somalis calling themselves the 'citizen's assembly' met in neighboring Djibouti and elected president Abdiqasim Salad Hassan and a new transitional legislature. Although, the government of both Hassan and the legislature was short-lived, they tried with some success to assert central authority. Somalia issued tri-metal coins with a face value of 250 Shillings depicting South Africa's former President Nelson Mandela as part of the "millenium icon series". This coin is struck in three phases: centre and two rings in brass, alternately plated with silver and gold. Only 200 pieces of this beautiful and unique tri-metal coin were minted for collectors world-wide.
