  Prompt: Animals are physiologically changing to survive living with humans. For example, among African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Gorongosa National Park, the number of elephants born without tusks has increased. Poachers are more likely to kill elephants with tusks, so that tuskless elephants survive and pass on their genes, including “tusklessness” (strong selection favoring tusklessness). In other words, being tuskless has become an evolutionary advantage for elephants in places where poachers are a major threat. Scientists have examined the impacts of ivory poaching during the Mozambican Civil War (1977 to 1992) on the evolution of African savanna elephants, and have found evidence for rapid, poaching-mediated selection for the loss of a prominent anatomical trait in the surviving 10% of a keystone species. (adapted e.g. from https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abe7389). The image is an exquisitely detailed National Geographic quality close-up front-view illustration of a single, large, tuskless male elephant approaching the viewer. The style is a biological illustration with extreme scientific precision, drawn as line art in bold colors.

While the astonishing adaptation of tusklessness in African savannah elephants is not a response to climate change, it is an evolutionary response to another destructive man-made force.
