Yes, they are referred to as "herds".
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!
Elephants live in the forest and raise their young there. Young ones stay with the herd for a few years until they are old enough to fend for themselves. Adolescent males leave the group while females stay with the group forever. The herd is lead by a Matriarch which is the oldest female in the herd. The whole herd takes care of rearing and protecting the youngsters.
