Gajah hutan afrika: Perbedaan antara revisi

'''Gajah hutan afrika''' (''Loxodonta cyclotis'') adalah spesies [[gajah]] yang tinggal di hutan di [[Cekungan Kongo]]. Gajah ini merupakan spesies gajah terkecil, tetapi merupakan hewan darat terbesar ketiga. Gajah hutan afrika dan [[gajah semak afrika]] dianggap sebagai satu spesies hingga penelitian genetik menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan genetik mereka cukup besar.<ref name=reuters101222>{{Cite news | url=http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6BK6I920101222 | title=Africa has two species of elephants, not one | last=Steenhuysen | first=Julie | publication-date=December 22, 2010 | periodical=Reuters | access-date=2016-04-17 | archive-date=2010-12-26 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101226041459/http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6BK6I920101222 | dead-url=no }}</ref>
