The front teeth of an elephant are called tusks True or false?
For African male and female elephants, the statement is true. In Asian elephants, the statement is also true, with the exception that a few female Asian elephants do not develop tusks.
African elephants are larger than Asian elephants true or false?
True! African Elephants have bigger trunks, tusks, ears and other cool things bigger than Asian elephants. It is quite neat!!
What is the difference between the Asian elephant and the African elephant?
some differences in African and Asian elephants is that: African elephants weigh up to 4000 - 7000 kg and have a height of about 3 - 4m, though Asian elephants only weigh about 3000 - 6000 kg and have a height of 2 - 3 and a half metres. African elephants skin is a lot darker and more wrinkled, where as Asian elephants have lighter and smoother skin. African elephants have a concave back, where Asian elephants have a straight or slightly humped back. African Elephants have a sloped head, with no bumps, bulges or denses. Where as Asian elephants have rounded heads with some bumbs and have a dint on the top of their head. African Elephants have larger ears with a size of 4m, and the ears cover its neck. Where as Asian elephants have smaller ears and it doesn't cover its neck. In African elephants, both male and female elephants have tusks, though male elephants tusks are larger. Though with Asian elephants, yes the males grow tusks as well, but the females don't. And if they do, they are barely visible anyways. Also on the end of a African elephants trunk, it has two fingers. Though Asian elephants only have one finger. ( These are true facts, I got them off my science teacher who specialises in differences found in similar mammals. )
Is it true elephants are evolving and losing their tusks?
yes because of poachers
How many tusks does a female elephant have?
it has 2 tusks just like the males all modern day elephants species only have 2 tusks but this was not true in earlier times many had 4 tusks in prehistoric time but they were not of any species that lives today
Why do Asian males only date Asian females?
This is not true for a lot of cases. I am an Asian myself dating a Mexican girl. Many Asian guys only date Asian females because they cannot get with American girls. Why would a hot white girl want to go out with an Asian when they have blonde good looking jocks around them? right? hope this helps
Is it true that there is a dinosaur in part of the Asian ocean?
yes its true
Do elephants sleep?
not really they sleep only a few hours at night an short naps Elephants feel that they must be on the alert for predators. This is true of elephants in the wild and elephants in the zoo. As a result, elephants sleep a maximum of four hours per day/night. This four hours is not in a row. Elephants sleep for about 30 minutes and then get up for something to eat and then lie back down. They repeat this cycle until they get about four hours of sleep.
When a guy like a young Asian woman and nobody else ever and that means ever is his love for the young Asian woman genuine and true love?
yeah of course that means he loves her and this applies not only to Asian women but to any woman
Is it true or false that elephants never grow expotentially because their rate of reproduction is slow?
True
Elephants never grow exponentially because their rate of reproduction is so slow?
True.
Should people try to save the wild populations of the Asian elephant?
For the same reasons that every species is worth saving. They have their place in the natural order of things. It is we humans who have disrupted the balance of nature in countless ways and in countless places. But since you asked specifically about Asian Elephants, it is because they have a very high degree of intelligence, they are self-aware (which means they recognise themselves as individuals. Dogs on the otherhand do not have that ability). They live in tight family groups. We as humans could, and are, learning a lot from the elephant about compassion, trust, loyalty, forgiveness and acceptance. This is true of all the elephant species.
