Female elephants live in matriarchal herds which are family groups of related females. The leader of the herd is the oldest and usually the largest female. Calves are raised by the whole matriarchal herd.

Males leave the herd between the ages of 12 and 15. They live solitary, independent lives but they may temporarily form loose bachelor herds. They battle over breeding rights and the older males usually win.
