Following the extinction of its ancestor the Mammoth, the

Asian elephant is today the world's largest land mammal after the African

elephant! what distinguishes it from its African cousin are its shorter ears,

its smaller size and its trunk, which has a single lip at the end while there

are two on the African elephant. The trunk is actually an extension of their

lip and nose, enabling them to communicate, carry water and food to their

mouths, pull and carry branches, and to make sounds. Their tusks are comprised

of ivory and enamel and are actually two teeth, which are used as a tool and

as a defensive weapon in combat. Elephants live in herds of around 20 at a

time and are LED by a matriarch, which is the oldest female in the Group. They

spend most of their time looking for food. They mostly eat leaves, the

branches of bushes or trees, fruit or bark. As an age-old symbol of wisdom,

they are extremely well known for their intelligence and memory, which is

where we get the expression "to have a memory like an elephant". From the
