The ivory trade is illegal except in countries like China.

How natural selection led to the evolution of the modern elephant?

Natural selection has shaped the evolution of modern elephants through adaptations that enhance their survival and reproductive success in diverse environments. Ancestors of modern elephants faced changing climates and habitats, leading to traits such as larger body size for thermoregulation, long trunks for foraging, and social behaviors for protection and resource sharing. Over time, those individuals with advantageous traits were more likely to survive and reproduce, gradually leading to the emergence of the modern elephant species we see today. These adaptations have allowed elephants to thrive in various ecosystems across Africa and Asia.
