Elephants

Male African elephants stand at around 10 to 13 feet tall at their shoulder. Female African elephants stand at around 7.2 to 8.5 feet tall at their shoulder. Their Asian counterparts are around 1 - 2 feet shorter than them and weigh a few thousand pounds lesser than them. The Average Asian elephant weighs anywhere between 2.7 tonnes to 4.5 tonnes. Full grown adult tuskers are known to weigh in the range of 4.5 tonnes. The Average African elephant weighs 2.7 to 6 tonnes. Though the African females are known to weigh approximately the same as their Asian counterparts, African Bulls are known to be much heavier than their Asian brothers.

The average speed of elephant ranges from 12 to 20 miles per hour. The top speed when elephant gets scared or upset could reach to 25 mile per hour. So an angry elephant charge can run 25 mph.

Uh.....no.Wolves get prey during the winter because of deer and moose.Bears will hibernate because the berries are gone and the fish are below the ice.That is why most creatures hibernate.Because of food.Wolves get food all year long mostly unless humans are hunting in that area so,no wolves do not hibernate.

There are two main types of elephants - African elephants and Asian elephants. African elephants are larger with bigger ears, while Asian elephants have smaller ears and a more rounded back. Additionally, African elephants are further divided into two species: savanna elephants and forest elephants.

The three stars on the Republican elephant symbolize the party's founding principles of faith, hope, and charity. These stars were added to the logo in the 1980s to reflect the party's values and beliefs.

Yes, elephants are very big mammals. They are the largest land animals on Earth, with African elephants being larger than Asian elephants. They can weigh several tons and reach heights of over 10 feet at the shoulder.

An elephant's foot can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and can cause significant damage and pain if it stomps on your foot. A stiletto heel, while painful, is unlikely to cause the same level of injury as an elephant's foot.

Yes, African elephants have several special adaptations to their environment. These include their large ears, which help regulate body temperature, their long tusks used for feeding and defense, and their trunk, which is a versatile tool for gathering food and water. Additionally, their thick skin provides protection against the sun and insects.

can somebody please explain the meaning of elephants trunk curled outwards

Yes, elephants can be brown. Their skin color can vary from dark grey to light brown, depending on factors such as age, habitat, and exposure to sunlight. Brown elephants are not uncommon, especially in certain regions where the soil color or environmental conditions may influence their appearance.

To determine the average weight of the elephant subspecies, the researcher should collect a sample of weights from the elephants in the subspecies and calculate the mean weight. They can then use statistical methods to estimate the population average weight of the subspecies with a certain level of confidence. The standard deviation obtained from previous studies can help assess the variability of the weights within the subspecies and provide insights into the spread of the data.

I dont think they would because they are herbivores and eat the usual plant diet of leaves, twigs and other such plants.

Elephants are herbivores, so they eat a lot of fruit, bark, shrubs, grass, and leaves. In captivity, elephants also enjoy peanuts (this tale is true), hay, watermelon, and pumpkins. Adult elephants eat about 220-440 pounds of food per day in the wild, based upon what their size and age is. Elephants also drink from 20-40 gallons of water per day.

The heaviest recorded modern day elephant was an African elephant which weighed 12 tons. It was a bull elephant shot dead in Angola, in 1974.

Asian elephants are huge, but are generally smaller than the African savanna species. Asian elephants grow up to 21 feet long, stand up to ten feet tall, and weigh up to 11,000 pounds. Females reach about eight and a half feet tall and weigh less than males.

elephants can go up to 25mph elephants can walk/run 40kmh

The African hyrax is one of the elephants' closest relatives. It's name, in an African dialect, is "little cousin to the elephant". Physically, it's feet are similar, but over all, it looks like a large rodent.

"Dunking the trunk" is a slang term typically used in hip-hop culture to refer to listening to loud music with heavy bass in a car with a powerful sound system. It is a way to describe playing music at a high volume to showcase the quality of the audio system in a vehicle.

Yes, elephants have a strong sense of smell and use it to locate food, water, and other elephants. Their sense of smell is one of their most important senses and plays a crucial role in their survival.

Generally, African elephants live to the age of about 60 years. They generally die of starvaion when their 6th and final set of teeth wears away. There are probably documented records of lifespans of zoo elephants. Peter Winhall

Elephants, rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses used to all be categorized in the same family of pachyderms. However, they have now been divided up into different families. Elephants are in the family of elephantidae, hippos are in the family hippopotamidae, and rhinos are in the family rhinocerotidae.

Male elephants are also called Tuskers or Bulls. Tuskers is a term that is used to refer to very large male elephants that have extremely large tusks. Spotting such tuskers is rare because most of them were wiped out by hunting and poaching.

im pretty sure cuz it is PRETTY big look 4 more of my answers!"!!!

Actually the Blue Whale is larger than an elephant. It is not unheard of than a Blue Whale's tongue will even out-weigh an elephant, although this isn't the case every time. Remember to recommend me! -Klive

Asian elephants are endangered and African Bush Elephants are vulnerable, but both African forest elephants and African elephants are not, although there has been a large decline in numbers due mainly to poaching.

Elephant Run is a book by Roland Smith and it is about a Boy Named Nick Freestone who lives with his mother and step-father in London, until the bombing come. The story takes place in 1941, during world war one. Nick's mother thinks the situation in London is too unstable, so she sends him to live on his father's teak plantation in Burma, which is where the elephants come in. The teak is hauled by timber elephants. Nick just starts getting used to his new digs when the Japanese bring trouble. They invade Burma and Nick's father and his new friend Indaw, one of the elephant mahouts, and Nick's friend Mya's big brother, become prisoners of war. Nick and Mya are stranded at the plantation and made to be servants to the Japanese. This story tells of their adventures as they desperately try to escape. It is an awesome book!
