Comprehension
Elephants are the largest and strongest existing land animals. There are three elephant species,
the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant and the Asian elephant. Elephants are found in
Africa, South and Southeast Asia. They are herbivorous and live in herds.
An elephant has thick legs, large hanging ears, a small tail, little eyes, two long white tusks and a
long nose called a trunk. The trunk is used for breathing, bringing food and water to the mouth and
holding objects. Their tusks serve both as a weapon and as a tool for moving objects and digging.
African elephants are larger, have bigger ears and longer tusks compared to Asian elephants.
The elephant is an intelligent animal and can live up to 70 years in the wild. Its intelligence
combined with its great strength makes it a very useful servant to man. They are caught alive, trained
and tamed and used as working animals. They can carry heavy loads and even go tiger hunting. In the
past, they were used in war but today they are often put on display in zoos or exploited for entertainment
in shows. Elephants have been featured in art, folklore, religion, literature and popular culture.
One of the biggest threats to the elephant population is the ivory trade as the elephants are
poached for their ivory tusks. Besides, their habitats are also shrinking. Both the African and Asian
elephants’ habitats have been declined by over 50% and the elephant species has been classified as
endangered.
