Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth, with African elephants weighing up to 14,000 pounds and standing 10 to 13 feet tall.
Elephants live in close-knit social groups called herds, led by a matriarch. They show deep emotional bonds and even mourn their dead.
Elephants communicate through a variety of sounds, including infrasound, which is below the range of human hearing, allowing them to talk over long distances.
An elephant’s trunk is an extraordinary tool with over 40,000 muscles, capable of delicate tasks like picking up a peanut or uprooting a tree.
Elephants are keystone species, playing a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystems they inhabit by creating water holes and spreading seeds.
