I love Elephants!


Especially African Elephants



 African elephant

There are two distinct species of elephants in Africa: the Savannah elephant and the Forest elephant. African elephants have always been creatures that facinated me. Every part of their body is intricately designed for survival. From their muscular trunks which serves multiple purposes, such as storing water, a snorkel while swimming, and of course, it helps them to drink! Their enlarged incisor teeth, more commonly known as tusks, are perfectly suited for the task of prising bark off trees or digging up roots, as well protecting them in fights. Last but not least, the folds and wrinkles in their skin helps to retain water so that they can cool down when temperatures are scortching hot.
Unfortunately, African elephants are an endangered specie.The demand for ivory in the illegal luxury trade drives the slaughter of these facinating animals. Help protect these endangered species so that future generations can continue to marvel at their beauty!
