The different elephants part of the gene flow are African Forest elephants, African Savannah elephants, and Asian elephants. Some of them, like the Asian elephant migrate to Asia, African Savannah, and the East Asia.

Divergent, Parallel and Convergent Evolution of an Elephant

# data[].attributes.body
One of the divergent elephants is the African Savannah elephant. They are divergent because they evolved different teeth. One of the convergent animals to the elephant is the giraffe because of the similar characteristics.

# data[].attributes.body
The sexual selection of an elephant are the tusks by male-male competition and female mate choice. Because of this, the elephant tusks are decreasing from the sexual selection. The female elephants prefer shorter tusks or no tusks at all.

# data[].attributes.body
For elephants, the natural selection of an elephant was most likely to be the tusks. Because people used to hunt the elephants, they started to grow without tusks. More likely to females do not carry tusks. The elephants with no tusks were more likely to survive so the population of elephants with no tusks grew.

One of the vestigial organs of an elephant is the ear. The elephants ears are a higher level for the humans ears. They can hear from long distances and low ranges.

# data[].attributes.body
The homologous structure of a elephant is the tusks. Just like a beaver has incisor teeth, the elephants tusks are made the same like the beavers teeth. Even though the srtucture of the tusks and teeth are quite the same, they both have different roles.
