Did you know elephants are the largest mammals on earth? I know! Elephants can weight 4-6 tons and be 18-24 ft! That´s impressive!
Elephants have a lot of capabilities, for example, they use their trunks to pick up objects, greet other elephants and or suck up water for drinking. Both male and female African elephants grow tusks and each individual can either be left- or right-tusked, and the one they use more is usually smaller because of wear and tear.
Elephants need extensive land areas to survive and meet their ecological needs, which includes food, water, and space. On average, an elephant can feed up to 18 hours and consume hundreds of pounds of plant matter in a single day. As a result, as they lose habitat, they often come into conflict with people in competition for resources.
