elephant Once they obastain DNA sequences 序列 from two fossils 化石 mammoths and mastodons the team comparted them with DNA from modern elephants They found their amazement that mordern forest and

differrent does not neccssarily mean they are different species However the prooflay in the analysisi of the DNA Alfried Roca assitant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at t he University of Illinois said We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two difficult units for conservation purpose Since 1950 all Afican elephants have been conserved as one species Now that we
