Herds of elephants are usually made up of about 10 to 20 elephants, but sometimes several herds join together and form a "super herd" which can have up to 100 elephants!

A group of elephants is called an Herd
An amazing thing about elephants is their sensitivity about death. When a elephant dies the herd has a funeral. They are silent like they were remembering the elephant. They pick about the bones and hold them. They will try to identify the elephant by looking at the skull. Elephants do not act like this around other dead animals. If a member of a herd starts to die the herd tries to bring it back to life by lifting it. Elephants also cry when a herd member dies. Later if the herd passes the same spot where a family member died the herd will stand still and be silent. These animals are truly human.
The herd is led by the oldest female elephant, called the matriarch
