Recent DNA tests have shown that the forest elephant is not a subspecies of the African elephant but a species in its own right. See [1], [2] and [3]. D.D. 22:01 Jan 4, 2003 (UTC)
Why is Amebelodon listed as gompothere in that article, while there is also an Amebelodontidae family listed here?
[edit] Amebelodon
Why is Amebelodon listed as gompothere in that article, while there is also an Amebelodontidae family listed here? Sorry for the double post DaMatriX 15:49, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Removed deleted image(s)
Just a note to say that I have removed some [or an] image[s] from the page beacuse they were speediable under either:
- Category:Images with no fair use rationale
- Category:Images with no copyright tag
- Category:Images with no source
Or similar category. Kilo-Lima|(talk) 17:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Classification
Something's not right here. Look at the taxobox - Euelephantoidea is shown as the parent of the child Gomphotheriidae. Yet the actual article for Gomphotheriidae has a taxobox indicating the taxonomic parent is Order Proboscidea. Presumably, the Gomphotheriidae page has omitted all intervening suborders? Or, is there an error? There seems to be taxonomic confusion throughout the various wiki pages within Proboscidea.--Leperflesh 20:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
