Turns out there might be 10,000 more African forest elephants than we thought! New DNA-based counting methods show their numbers could be as high as 145,000. It’s a rare bit of good news for these super shy, critically endangered animals. But don’t get too comfy—poaching and habitat loss are still huge threats. Conservation is working, but these gentle giants need all the help they can get to bounce back! #Pets #elephants #conservation
