Elephants

< < <

Elephants are the largest land animal alive today and considered one of the most intelligent. The hefty African elephant can tip the scales at 11,000 lbs with both males and females sporting impressive tusks. African elephants have two "fingers" on their trunk and large ears to dissipate heat in the hot forests, deserts and veldts of Africa. The slightly smaller Asian elephant has tinier ears and only one "finger" at the end of their trunk. Asian elephants are considerably less numerous than their African cousins and may end up like their extinct relatives, the mammoth, within the century. Jul 5
