African Elephants -

Elephants- enormous, intelligent, strong and sociable. A male African elephant can weigh up to 7.5 tons! They have long and flexible noses, large flapping ears, and loose, wrinkly skin.

 

There are two elephant species that are usually recognized: the African elephant and the Asian elephant.

 

- African elephants have large ears that are shaped like the continent of Africa, both males and females have visible tusks, their skin is very wrinkly. their back is swayed, and the end of their trunk works as if they have two fingers there to help them pick things up. African elephants are the largest mammals on land.

 

- Asian elephants have smaller ears, and one finger at the end of their trunk..
