Elephant meat
open-in-new
<p>Elephant meat is the flesh and other edible parts of <a href="/facts/Elephants/6prrEFFK">elephants</a>. Elephants have been hunted for their meat since prehistoric times, with traditional elephant hunting being historically practiced by some modern African hunter-gatherer groups. Elephant meat is also widely illegally sold as <a href="/facts/Bushmeat/88TMgrMd">bushmeat</a> in parts of Africa, which has sparked concerns that the demand for bushmeat is driving poaching. </p>
