How do elephants feed their young?

Elephants feed their young by nursing them with milk produced by their mammary glands. A mother elephant will allow her calf to suckle for several years, typically up to two to four years, providing essential nutrients for growth and development. In addition to milk, mothers also introduce their calves to solid food as they begin to wean, teaching them what to eat from their surroundings. This nurturing process is crucial for the calf's survival and learning.

How are elephant families alike human families?

Elephants are very social and show emotions. One scientist observed a baby elephant that was playing in the grass. The calf got separated from his mother for a period of time. As soon as the calf noticed, the calf started wailing and crying. The calf's mother then rushed to the calf's side and began comforting it with her truck. Elephants are also sensitive to death. Elephants have been observed picking up bones of other elephants and carrying with them.The elephants are also silent for a period of time as if they were remembering the elephant. They focus on the skull, possibly to identify the elephant. Elephants also form circles around their young to protect them from predators. If a herd of elephants are separated, when they reunite they celebrate. This includes spinning, trumpeting, playing, and greetings.
