Well, they are sociable animals like elephants.
Herds usually have about 10 to 20 members. Sometimes many herds will meet and form "super herds" of 100 or more elephants. Herds consist mainly of females that are related to each other. A typical herd might include mothers, daughters, aunts, and grandmothers, and a few young males. The oldest female is the herd's matriarch. She leads the herd to water and finds food and a place to rest. There are also smaller bachelor herds that are made up of adult males.
Female elephants (cows) live in herds while the male elephants (bulls) leave the herd after several years and travel alone
