I would have to think really hard about having a pet elephant. They eat a LOT of food, and need a LOT of room. If the weather in your area is not the same as that of Africa, what would you do with your elephant when it snowed? They won't fit in your house, and if you live in an apartment building, they won't fit in the elevator. They can't sit in your lap to be petted, and they might step on you without meaning to do so.

What are the differences between Asian and the African elephants?
The African elephant is bigger than the Asian elephant, and has larger ears. The large ears are one of the main ways to differentiate the two. The African elephant also has a dip in its back, where the Asian elephant has a hump. The African elephant has a smooth curved forehead, while the Asian elephant has two humps on its forehead. The African elephant has four or five toes on its front feet and three on its back feet. The Asian elephant has five toes on its front feet and four on its back feet. The trunk of the African elephant has two knobs of flesh on its tip, one on top and one on the bottom. The Asian elephant has only one knob of flesh on its trunk, and it's at the top. The African elephant's tusks are longer than the Asian elephant's.The African elephant is much larger than the Asian Elephant, in both height and weight, and as stated, the ears are clearly larger. African elephants also have a single round 'dome' on the top of their head, while Asian elephants have 2 'domes' on top of their head with a small indentation in between. African elephants are also known to be more 'wrinkly' than Asian elephants. In Asian elephants, only some of the males will get tusks, however among African elephants both the male and female can have tusks. African elephants also have two 'fingers' at the end of their trunk used to grabbing and moving things, whereas Asian elephants only have one 'finger' at the end of their trunk on the top, but they make it work just as well as having two.A very distinct difference between the two is in the ears. The African elephant's ears are over twice the size of the Asian elephant's. Also the African elephant's ears are shaped quite differently, and are often referred to as the "Map of Africa" by some wildlife biologists. The Asian elephant's ears are not shaped this way. This is easy to see from afar and is, therefore, often the way the animals are told apart from a distance.the African elephant is from Asia and the other one from Africaand there sizeAfrican elephants have big ears and a round top of their head and they are much bigger then a Indian elephant.

Is the elephant habitat in any danger?
Yes, elephant habitat is declining rapidly. The fastest deforestation rate in the world is in the rainforests of Asia, where forests are cleared to make way for massive palm oil plantations. That is one of the three habitats of elephants. The habitat of elephants on the African plains continues to be fragmented by roads, while livestock grazing and the people in charge of those livestock keep trying to force elephants into smaller areas. The third habitat of elephants is the African rainforest, but that is threatened by deforestation, too.
What is being done to preserve Indian Elephants?
African elephants face extinction in the wild because of poaching and habitat loss. The largest land mammal, elephants reproduce slowly compounding the problem.
