Please tell me which sentence is correct .

“Elephants that are found in Africa are huge .”

OR

“Elephants those are found in Africa are huge.”

I think " those are found in Africa " is correct, because Elephants is plural .
Many people say" that " is correct .

Please tell me the correct sentence.

Thanks in Advance
