Elephants

Actually, Elephants do indeed have a chin. I just took a class in anthropology and this came up. Aside from modern humans, elephants are the only other animal with a chin. Elephants also have sparse hair distributed unevenly on their body, with the most noticeable concentrations around the eyes, ear openings, chin, and tail. And FOUR knees!

have no figures to give you, some may fall below the 'radar' as they may be 'categorised' as another nationality/race, for example if you were three quarters white/black/Asian, would you simply describe yourself as singularly Asian/black/white depending on your most dominant inherited traits? and maybe selectively 'ignore' the least dominant? even if you knew you were quarter Asian/white/black what happens when these genes appear recessive? people can be half Asian and have lighter hair/eyes/skin than a quarter Asian same as quarter Asian can appear almost white other quarter/half Asian can appear totally Asian, suppose it depends on the dominant genes of ancestors (although in 'minority' cases-cases that are considered 'newsworthy'- the Chinese boy with blue eyes-the black baby with blue eyes- this does occur this is more unlikely in the average case.

Male African elephants can weigh up to 15,000 pounds. They stand up to 13 feet tall and are the largest land animals in the world.

poaching, as elephants are targeted for their tusks composed of high-quality ivory. The demand for ivory in illegal wildlife trade is a major factor contributing to the decline in the African elephant population in certain wildlife preserves. Efforts to combat poaching and illegal ivory trade are crucial to protect these majestic animals from further decline.

Elephants are helpful in various ways, such as dispersing seeds through their dung, creating paths in the forest for other animals, and shaping the landscape by uprooting trees and clearing vegetation. Additionally, elephants are important for ecotourism, which provides economic benefits for local communities and helps fund conservation efforts.

After falling off the Empire State Building, Ray Flood survived by landing on a ledge on the 85th floor. He suffered a fractured pelvis and other injuries, but remarkably managed to survive. Flood later sued the building's management for damages.

The African elephants have bigger ears. In fact, African elephants are also taller and heavier than Indian elephants. A large African elephant could be 12ft at the shoulder and weigh 8 tons. Mostly elephants walk at human speed, but in a stampede they could reach 25 mph, (that's faster than an Olympic sprinter.) In African elephants, both male and females have enlarged incisors which develop into the famous tusks. Whereas, in Indian elephants, tusks development is much greater in males than females. Confusingly, some Indian male elephants don't develop tusks so they can't rely on them to determine gender elephants. Another difference is in the shape of the back, the African elephants dips, and you could imaging a gigantic saddle fitting on their back. The Indian elephant on the other hand has a level or slightly convex back, saddling would be more difficult. If you get a close look at the trunk, the Indian elephant has only one 'finger' at the end of its trunk, whereas the African elephant has two lips or fingers. The African elephant is the largest living land animal, weighing up to 8.25 tons (7,500 kilograms) and standing 10 to 13 feet (3 to 4 meters) at the shoulder. The Indian elephant) weighs about 6 tons (5,500 kilograms) with a shoulder height of 10 feet (3 meters). The African elephants have bigger ears.

i think baby elephants drink 150 to 300 gallons a day

The term "africana" in the species name Loxodonta africana refers to the geographic region where the African elephant is commonly found, which is Africa. In taxonomic nomenclature, the species name usually consists of two parts: the genus name (in this case, Loxodonta) and the specific epithet (in this case, africana).

African elephants live in matriarchal societies led by the oldest female. They exhibit strong social bonds and communication through vocalizations, body language, and touch. These communities are important for the survival and well-being of the group members.

Baby elephants suckle with their mouth, using their trunk to help guide and manipulate the process. The trunk also plays a crucial role in their coordination and ability to grasp and hold onto the nipple during feeding.

No, elephants do not live in caves. They typically roam in open habitats like savannas, forests, and grasslands where they can find food and water easily. Caves are not suitable for their large size and social behavior.

Elephants are crepuscular animals, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. However, they can also be active during both day and night, depending on factors like food availability and temperature.

The elephant symbolizes the Republican Party in the United States because it was first associated with the party in a political cartoon by Thomas Nast in the 1870s. Nast used the elephant to represent the Republican Party's strength and steadfastness. Since then, the elephant has become the enduring symbol of the Republican Party.

Elephants are pure vegetarians. Their diet includes huge quantities of grass and leaves from trees. They are also known to eat fruits and coconut. They are especially fond of Bananas. They are known to eat over 150 kgs of vegetation in a single day.

It is difficult to determine an exact number, but estimates suggest there were around 1.3 million elephants in Africa in the early 20th century before widespread poaching began to significantly reduce their populations.

Elephants stay in a herd for protection, social interactions, and sharing of resources like food and water. Being in a group provides them with safety from predators and allows for the passing down of knowledge and social interactions between members of the herd.

Blue whale. A blue whale's tongue can weigh as much as an elephant, making it the largest and heaviest tongue in the animal kingdom.

you can use ivory for jewelry, carvings, handles for things like swords and even they use to make the keys of a keyboard out of it. You can also use the ivory/ tusks for antiques...

In many ways, Orwell did not have a choice, he presents it soon after the first actual sighting of the elephant that while a practical method could be followed: "It was perfectly clear to me what I ought to do, I ought to walk within 20-30 yards from the elephant testing it's behavior: If it were to charge I would shoot, if it did not react it would be safe to be left until the Mahout arrived" It was not something he felt able to advocate:

Orwell negates this obligation through a mixture of cowardice, prejudice and pressure that the massing crowd of "yellow faces" have instilled in him. Orwell is demonstrating that the splicing of cultures has led to this stand off and he must somehow act, he chooses to shoot the elephant, not because he has too but because it would be expedient to follow his prejudices against "appearing a fool " in front of the "natives" rather than adhere to idealist ethics.

Evidence for this lies in his moment of comic irony when he says that if the elephant were to trample him the native would laugh at him- this touch of ridiculousness emphasizes the effect Imperialism has had on Orwell. Although that particular image is not intended to be fully serious it is representative of the "hopelessness of the white man's dominion in the East" that even in his death he is struggling not to be laughed at.

He has become "the traditional image of the Sahib", who in theory has absolute power and as such could turn around and walk away, the compulsion to shoot the elephant comes about from the polar relationship that links the "natives" with the "Imperialists Orwell seems to be commenting on the battle between the compulsion to do what is right and what one feels obliged to do- his prejudices have led him in this case to abandon his morals. His argument running that once you have donned the "mask" your "face grows to fit it" and the empire you are master of compels you equally as much as you compel it. In such a relationship Orwell must bend to the will of the dehumanized collective mass who want the elephant dead, he is given no other choice.

Elephants have a number of characteristics which would include: they are very large herbivorous quadrupeds with very little hair except for their tails, and thick gray skin, large ears, and prehensile trunks; male elephants grow tusks made of ivory, which is a valuable commodity, for which they are often killed by hunters, legally or illegally.

Elephants are native to 37 countries in Africa and 13 countries in Asia. In Africa, they can be found in countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, and South Africa. In Asia, elephants are native to countries like India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia.

To draw an elephant, start by sketching a large oval for the body, a smaller circle for the head, and simple shapes for the legs and trunk. Add details like the ears, tusks, eyes, and tail. Finally, refine the lines, add shading, and color as desired to complete your elephant drawing.
