Captive elephants
Elephants in captivity
are in most cases
Asian elephants
captured in the wild.
Selective breeding
of
elephants
is impractical due to their long
reproductive
cycle, so there are no
domestic breeds
.
African bush elephants
and
African forest elephants
are less amenable to training. There are estimated to be 15,000 to 20,000 elephants in captivity, of a total population of 40,000 to 50,000.
