elephant meat
Elephant meat refers to the flesh and other edible parts of elephants. It is consumed primarily in African nations as a delicacy, but is also eaten during times of hardship such as drought and war.
==History==
The consumption of elephant meat has likely been a source of food for both humans and animals during the entire time of their coexistence. By the beginning of the Middle Palaeolithic, around 120,000 BCE, African societies were hunter-gatherers proficient in exploiting herds of elephants for their meat.
A specimen of the now-extinct straight-tusked elephant was discovered in the Ebbsfleet Valley, near Swanscombe. The 400,000-year-old skeleton was found with flint tools scattered around, suggesting the elephant had been cut up by a tribe of the early humans existing at the time, known as ''Homo heidelbergensis''.〔BBC News. 2006.
