Where in the world is the elephant the smallest?

Scientists recently discovered the world's smallest elephant weighing only 700 grams in the mountains of Tanzania, Africa. The elephant is very similar in appearance to a mouse, and it is the closest to an elephant according to genetic analysis.

According to Russia's Komsomolskaya Pravda, scientists recently found the world's smallest elephant weighing only 700 grams in the mountains of Tanzania, Africa.

This miniature elephant is about the size of a kitten, and its appearance is very similar to that of a mouse, with a gray face, a yellow body, and black legs. This miniature elephant likes to burrow in search of food such as insects and earthworms, and when in danger, it jumps on its hind legs and runs away. Scientists gave it the Latin name Rhynochocyon Udzungwensis

According to geneticists, this animal is the closest to an elephant, which weighs only 700 grams, and it may seem far-fetched to call it an elephant, but in essence it can be considered so.

It is reported that Italian investigators photographed this elephant in 2005, zoologist Galin of the California Academy of Sciences. When he saw the elephant, Ratpen was surprised and said, "This is indeed a gratifying discovery."

Khan, the man below the elephant is the smallest, (*hee-hee.

Of course, if you insist on saying that it is an elephant in chess... Then I can't help it, haha.

The "elephant" in chess is the smallest.

Elephants in the Congo forests of Africa in the world.

Least. In the Congo forests of Africa, there is a very small elephant called "frog dog" by the locals. This kind of elephant is very short, no more than meters tall, **delicate, quiet, like a little girl, so it is also called "Miss Elephant".

This is the smallest known elephant species.

In 2008, scientists in Tanzania, Africa.

During the investigation, I photographed a kind of pocket "baby elephant". The "baby elephant" is about the size of a cat, resembles a mouse, and weighs only 700 grams. The face is gray, the body is yellow, the legs are black, and the only nose on the whole body is like an elephant's trunk.

They take the form of earthworms.

They feed on insects, and when they are in danger, they often jump up on their hind legs and then run away quickly.
