I think Chama is the African forest elephant while the other elephant characters are African bush elephants. According to DNA sequence analysis, African forest elephants are more closely related to the extinct Europeon straight-tusked elephant than they are to their African bush conunterparts.That means that they might be the sole surviving relic from a group of ice age giants, just like the spectacled bear whose extinct relative is the short-faced bear and the Sumatran rhinoceros whose extinct relative is the Eurasian Woolly rhinoceros. That's quite interesting that I thought about that!
