First of all, live in groups

Elephants are social animals, with the family as the unit and the female elephant as the leader. Every day, the activity time, action route, foraging place and habitat are all commanded by the female elephant, while the adult male elephant only undertakes the responsibility of defending family security, and sometimes several elephants gather together to form a large group of hundreds.

Second, food.

Elephants are the largest mammals on land, and feed on plants such as tender leaves, wild fruits, weeds, wild vegetables and tender bamboo. Although he is a vegetarian, because of his tall figure, he is a veritable Hercules and Big Mac in the land animal kingdom. He has a long nose and tusks as weapons. So he has no natural enemies in nature except human beings, and he can't see anything at night, so he is easily attacked by lions at night.

Third, reproduction.

Its breeding period is not fixed and it is about 22 months pregnant. Every time you give birth to 1 offspring, you will be sexually mature from13 to14, and your life span will exceed 60 years. Asian elephant is a first-class protected animal in China, and it is listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Elephants can communicate through infrasound waves that humans can't hear, which are mainly transmitted through bones. When the sound wave propagates, it will travel along the soles of the feet through the bones to the inner ear, and the fat on the elephant's face can be used to amplify the sound. Under the condition of no interference, it is generally possible to drive 1 1 km. If the medium is uneven in airflow, it can only drive 4 km. In this case, if elephants need to communicate, they will stamp their feet together and produce a powerful rumble.
