There are three species of elephants. I will list their scientific names. Note that each scientific name is in two parts, and the first part is the genus. The second part is the species name. The three elephant species are Elephas maximus, Loxodonta africana, and Loxodonta cyclotis.
Loxodonta.
Elephants belong to the family Elephantidae and the genus Elephas. There are three extant species of elephants: the African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), the African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus).

Elephants belong to the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. There are three species of elephants: the African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), the African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus).
Elephas maximuselephas Maximusasianis elephantisElephas maximumElephus maximusElephas maximus is the scientific, Latin or binomial name for the Asian elephant. It is one of three surviving elephant species. Of the three, it is the only genus to be found in Asia. The other two species, Loxodonta africana and L. cyclotis, are found in Africa.No, Loxodonta is the scientific genus for African elephants. Asian elephants are of the genus elephas, and are closely related to the mammoth. The full scientific name for the Asian Elephant is Elephas maximus. Make sure when you write the full name for a creature the genus is capitalized and the species is lowercase and that it is written in italics if you are handwriting the name then you can underline it.The scientific or taxonomic name would be Elephas maximus.
The elephant belongs to two genera: Elephans and Loxodonta. The three species of Loxodonta include africana, cyclotis and maximus
The term "africana" in the species name Loxodonta africana refers to the geographic region where the African elephant is commonly found, which is Africa. In taxonomic nomenclature, the species name usually consists of two parts: the genus name (in this case, Loxodonta) and the specific epithet (in this case, africana).
There are actually three species of elephants: Elephas maximus the asiatic elephant Loxodonta africana the savannan or bush elephant Loxodonta cyclotis the forest elephant
