ELEPHANT
Elephants are the largest mammal which belongs to the family Elephantidae. It is also one of the loudest animals in the world. They are divided into two parts the African elephant and the Asian elephant. They also have the largest brain of all the land animals. I am not saying that if they have a larger brain that doesn’t mean they are most intelligent one but elephants are also one of the intelligent animals in the world. They can very easily things from the surrounding which is very helpful for their survival. They are also known as the humans best friends because of their social and intelligent behaviour.
You will not believe but elephants can mimic many different types of sounds and also they are very efficient in order to use different tools in the forest for finding food. They are also known for showing emotions like joy and sorrow. All elephants have several distinctive features but they are known for their long trunk or proboscis. The proboscis is very helpful for them in breathing, lifting water and grasping objects. The African elephants are known for their larger ears while Asian elephants with smaller ears and convex or level backs. Elephants have unforgetting memory is one of the most common animal stereotypes in the world
Elephant populations
While some populations of African elephant are secure and expanding, primarily in southern Africa, numbers are continuing to fall in other areas, particularly in central Africa and parts of East Africa. With an estimated 415,000 elephants left on the continent, the species is regarded as vulnerable, although certain populations are being poached towards extinction.
Asian elephant numbers have dropped by at least 50% over the last three generations, and they’re still in decline today. With only 40,000-50,000 left in the wild, the species is classified as endangered.
And it is critical to conserve both African and Asian elephants since they play such a vital role in their ecosystems as well as contributing towards tourism and community incomes in many areas.
So by helping protect elephants, we’re helping conserve their habitat, supporting local communities, and making sure natural resources are available for generations to come.
