Elephants are the largest land-dwelling mammals on earth and they can live up to 70 years. Elephants are brown to dark grey in colour and have long, coarse hairs sparsely covering their bodies. They have very thick skin that keeps them cool. Elephant trunks serve as another limb and they may contain more than 40,000 muscles that help the elephant use it to gather food and water. They also have large ears and thick tree-trunk-like legs to support their weight.

There are two species of elephants: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. There are a number of differences between the two species: overall size, ear size, tusks and shape of the back and forehead among others.

The basic diet of the elephant includes grasses, leaves, bamboo, bark and roots. Also they are known to eat crops like banana and sugarcane which are grown by farmers. Adult elephants eat 300-400 lbs of food per day. African savannah elephants are found in savannah zones in 37 countries south of the Sahara Desert.
