Introduction: The elephant is one of the largest land animals, known for its intelligence, social
behavior, and physical strength. These gentle giants have fascinated humans for centuries and play a
vital role in their ecosystems.
Habitat: Elephants are native to Africa and Asia. African elephants inhabit savannas, forests, and
deserts, while Asian elephants are found in grasslands and tropical forests.
Physical Characteristics: Elephants are characterized by their long trunks, large ears, and massive
bodies. Their tusks are elongated teeth that are used for defense, digging, and lifting objects.
Diet: Elephants are herbivores, feeding on grass, fruits, bark, and leaves. They consume up to 300
pounds of food daily.
Social Structure: Elephants live in matriarchal groups led by an older female. These groups are highly
social and communicate using vocalizations, body language, and even low-frequency rumbles.
