There are about 470,000 living African elephants at this time.
Elephants usually drink once or twice in a day. They are known to drink up to 200 liters of water in a day.
It's the other way around. African elephants have bigger ears. The theory is that since elephants can't sweat, they use their ears - which are full of blood vessels close to the surface - to cool themselves down with. And as Africa is generally hotter than Asia, African elephants need bigger ears to keep from overheating. Also. African elephants generally live in the open, while Asian elephants spend more time in the woods. Bigger ears would get quite worn and torn if they kept brushing up against trees and branches all the time.
A elephant lives in many places such as the national parks,jungle and certain deserts. Elephants dont live in rain forests. There was once a time when people tried to introduce elephants to rainforests. They tried to put 1000 elephants in Pench for the tourists. All of them died in 2 weeks.
The mammoth is an extinct form of the elephant. The mammoth died out a long time ago. The only elephants that are around today are the African and Indian elephant.

African elephants typically give birth during the rainy season, which varies depending on the region. In general, births tend to occur more frequently during periods of higher food availability and water sources.
Some people do follow that law. However, some people still illegally kill elephants to sell their ivory. Also, when elephants eat the crops of the African farmers, they are sometimes killed by the enraged people. First it is legal to hunt African elephants in at least 10 countries at this time. Second, more people are killed by elephants every year than elephants by people. Third, when a village loses it's entire crop in a couple of nights and the herd is culled by the gov't. Once dried, the meat from those elephants will feed the village for a few months while they await gov't aid. Unless they live in Zimbabwe.
Just one, it takes an elephant just under 2 years to gestate.
