An elephant is the largest land mammal on Earth, known for its massive size, thick grey skin, large ears, and long trunk. There are three main species: the African savanna elephant, African forest elephant, and Asian elephant.
Highly social animals, often living in herds led by a matriarch.
Known for strong memory, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving abilities.
Communicate using sounds, touch, and infrasound (low-frequency vibrations).
Elephants face threats from habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching for ivory.
Many populations are endangered or vulnerable, and conservation efforts are ongoing worldwide.
