Elephant

Elephants are the largest land animals known for their long trunks and tusks.

Here are the basics:

• There are three main species: African bush elephants, African forest elephants, and Asian elephants.
• Elephants have large bodies, long trunks used for breathing, grabbing objects, and communication, and in some species, tusks made of ivory.
• They inhabit diverse habitats including savannas, forests, and grasslands across Africa and Asia.
• Elephants are herbivores, feeding on vegetation. They live in social groups led by matriarchs and exhibit strong family bonds.
• Elephants face threats from habitat loss, human-elephant conflict, and poaching for ivory. They are classified as vulnerable or endangered.
