Elephants are currently one of the largest land mammals on the planet.

The elephant is a giant animal, reaching up to 7 meters in length and 4 meters in height at the shoulder.

Elephants have long trunks that can be used for foraging, drinking, badly, which helps, and other complex social behaviors. Elephants also have very large ears that can be used for heat dissipation. They have two long tusks, called tusks, which are the main reason why elephants are hunted by people.

Elephants are typically phytophagous animals, eating mainly plants such as leaves, grasses, and fruits, and they need to consume large amounts of food and water every day. Elephants are very fond of bathing and need to spend a lot of time bathing each day, which helps to keep their skin clean and fresh.

Elephants are very active animals and must walk long distances daily to find food and water. They are usually active during the day and rest at night.

Elephants can run relatively slowly, reaching only about 40 kilometers per hour. However, elephants can walk dozens of kilometers continuously and on various terrain, including forests, deserts, and mountains. Elephants also sometimes use their strong physique to hit trees for food or to push over buildings in search of food.

When elephants are walking, they use their strong trunks to sniff out their surroundings. They can use this highly sensitive trunk to sense the scent of food, water, companions, and other animals. Elephants can also use their trunks to make breathing and roaring sounds to communicate.

Elephants have very strong social instincts and form a complex social structure.

Each elephant has a unique personality, but they also have a very close relationship with each other. Elephant groups are led by females, with other females and young elephants forming the group, and males typically leave the family at 10-12 years of age and begin to live independently.

When an elephant faces a threat, the whole group will unite together for protection. Elephants also show extreme sadness for their dead companions, sometimes even guarding next to the dead for a few days.

Elephants are very intelligent animals, and their intelligence is thought to be comparable to that of primates. They have the memory and learning ability to remember things from years ago and can recognize the sounds of hundreds of other elephants and other animals.

Elephants have been observed in Africa using tools such as throwing branches and grass leaves onto their backs to repel insects.

Elephants face many threats to their survival, such as habitat loss, poaching, and illegal trade.

To protect this precious species and the natural environment and ecosystem we share, we need to take action and actively engage in conservation efforts. Let's work together to contribute to protecting the future of elephants.
