Elephasapien (SciiFii)

The elephant folk (Elephasapien communis), also known as the elepholk and the elefolk, is a species of elephant that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii. The elephant folk is a rather small elephant species, growing to be about the size of an average-sized miniature zebu. The elephant folk is largely omnivorous, unlike most elephants, and primarily feeds on a wide range of grasses, leaves, fruits, nuts, pinecones, seeds, vegetables, bulbs, tubers, flowers, insects, crustaceans smaller vertebrates, carrion, man-made food, and other kinds of edible food. The males can be distinguished from the females by having a slightly bulkier bodies and by the presence of long tusks, which females completely lack. The elephant folk is the smartest species of elephant, having an intelligence slightly more advanced than those of common humans (Homo sapiens), allowing the elephant folks to have a diverse range of cultures, religions, science, technologies, languages (including English), etc. The elephant folk has a more advanced trunk than those of other elephants, with the tip of its trunk being more similar to those of mammoths than Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), with the exception of having two extra horizontal "thumbs", not just two vertical "thumbs", to allow better gripping on many objects. The social behavior is less like those of other elephant species and more like those of human species of the genus Homo. The reproductive lifestyle and lifecycle is almost identical to those of cattle, allows the elephant folks to breed faster and more frequently than other elephants. The conservation status of the elephant folk is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the elephant folk's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs, and is able to work and live with other sapient species (including humans) in many kinds of human-modified habitats.
