"Despite reported differences in appearance and behavior, DNA evidence finds
that Namibian desert elephants share the same DNA as African savanna elephants.
However, Namibian desert-dwelling elephants should be protected so they can
continue to pass on their unique knowledge and survival skills to future
generations."

Some animals do have their own culture worth preserving.  Via Kerry
