There are 2 different species of elephants: the African elephant and the
Asian elephant (also known as the Indian elephant). Elephants are the
largest land animals. Elephants are very social animals and live in family
groups referred to as "herds". Female elephants are also called "cows"
(pregnancy) and produce one offspring at a time. The baby is called a
"calf". Baby elephants weigh about 200 lbs. at birth. Both species of
elephants are long-lived animals; they can live about 50-60 years.
Elephants are herbivores and eat large amounts of plant material: leaves,
branches, grass, bark, even roots. Each individual elephant will eat
several hundred pounds of plant material every day and will drink about
50 gallons of water a day. The ivory tusks are actually 2 upper incisor
teeth and the elephant has 4 more large molar teeth in its mouth: one in
each corner. Interestingly elephants go through 6 sets of teeth in their
lifetime. Elephants can grow as tall as 11 feet and can weigh up to 15,000
lbs. African elephants generally are taller than Asians, but the Asian
elephants are usually heavier.
African elephants live throughout the continent of Africa, south of the
Sahara desert. They have much larger ears than their Asian cousins, and
their ears are rounded and shaped like the continent of Africa. They
also have a smooth forehead and two "fingers" at the end of their trunk.
Their skin is more deeply wrinkled than the Asian elephant's skin and
both the males and females have large tusks. There are about 550,000
wild African elephants left on the African continent. African elephants
are considered a threatened species.
