Elephants

Joseph Merrick, also known as the Elephant Man, became famous due to his severe physical deformities caused by a rare condition called Proteus syndrome. He gained notoriety in the late 19th century in England and became the subject of medical curiosity and public fascination. Merrick's story has since been immortalized in books, films, and plays, highlighting his resilience in the face of extreme adversity.

Elephants are large animals with a thick, heavy skeletal structure, massive muscles, and layers of skin that contribute to their weight. They also have a large digestive system to process the vast amounts of plant material they consume. Additionally, elephants have large fat stores to help them store energy for times when food is scarce.

A alligator cannot stick out its tongue. Its attached to the bottom of it's mouth and one good reason is so it cannot accidently bite its tongue.

There are three species of elephant alive today. Two, the African bush elephant and the African forest elephant, live in Africa. The third, the Asiatic elephant, lives in rainforests, woodlands, and savannas of southern Asia.

Elephants are not lazy animals. They have been observed to walk long distances in search of food and water, and they spend a significant portion of their day foraging. They also need to travel great distances to find suitable habitat, which requires a lot of energy.

Elephants have adapted to hot climates for various reasons. Their large ears help regulate body temperature by dissipating heat, and their thick skin protects them from the sun. Additionally, their diet is high in water content, which helps them stay hydrated in hot environments.

Asian elephants are typically gray in color, ranging from dark gray to light gray. They may also appear to have some pinkish or brownish patches on their skin. Each elephant's color can vary depending on factors like age, diet, and habitat.

Once numbering in the millions, the African elephant population has dwindled to between 470,000 and 690,000 individuals according to a March 2007 estimate. The world population of Asian elephants -- also called Indian Elephants -- is estimated to be around 60,000.

There are an estimated 500,000 African and 40,000 Indian elephants alive, including about 2000 total in zoo populations.

A reduction in the illegal ivory trade would improve their chances of survival, as many are illegally killed by poachers each year. Habitat loss is another major threat in India and other Asian elephant countries.

African- about 600,000

Asian- about 80,000

Well, A baby mammoth is the size of a fully grown elephant (just a dramatic fact that doesn't really answer this question), so the elephant can grown up to 9 - 16 feet long. Pretty big. They are about 7- 8 feet tall (shoulder height). If you search it up somewhere else and it has a different answer, then their probably more accurate then me. Although that is very unlikely because I study animals even though I'm not 13 yet, its still cool to.

Yes, both male and female African elephants can have tusks, though they tend to be larger in males. Tusks are elongated incisor teeth that protrude from the elephant's mouth and are used for various tasks such as foraging, digging, and defense.

Some species that share habitat with elephants include rhinoceroses, giraffes, zebras, lions, and various bird species. They all coexist in savannas and grasslands where they depend on a similar ecosystem for survival.

Elephants live in Africa and Asia. Two species live in Africa and on in Asia. Up until the mammoths died out 10,000 years ago, members of the elephant order lived in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America.

One difference is that African elephants have the bigger ears. They are also slightly bigger in size that Indian elephants. African elephants also have two "fingers" at the end of there trunk while Indian elephants only have one and African elephants are more grey while Idian elephants are more of a dusty colour.

In some cultures, a statue of an elephant with tears can symbolize good luck, particularly related to wisdom, protection, and loyalty. The tears are often seen as a sign of compassion and strength. However, the meaning can vary depending on the cultural context and personal beliefs.

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.

The Asian Elephant has the smallest ears, of the current existing species (African Bush Elephant, African Forest Elephant, and Asian Elephant or Indian Elephant). However, when alive, the Mammoths had the smallest ears.

A horse has bilateral symmetry. When something is bilaterally symmetrical, it means that the object can be divided in two, and both parts would be a mirror reflection of each other. If you look at a horse, you notice that if one were to split a horse in half a certain way, the left and right side of the horse would be exactly the same.

Asian elephants produce about 100 to 500. Africans are similar.

Yes, hippos have tusks. These tusks are long canine teeth that can grow up to 20 inches in length and are used for fighting and defense.

Elephants can weigh anywhere from 2,000 to 6,000 kilograms (4,400 to 13,200 pounds) depending on the species and sex of the individual.

The number of elephants that weigh 2.1 tons would depend on the weight of an average elephant. On average, an African bush elephant can weigh between 5,000 to 14,000 pounds (2.5 to 7 tons). So, 2.1 tons would be equivalent to around 1.05 to 0.75 elephants.

It would be extremely challenging for an elephant to survive with only three legs due to their large body size and weight. The missing leg would likely lead to significant mobility issues and difficulty in foraging for food, ultimately impacting the elephant's ability to survive in the wild.

how many elephant are killed each day? Very good Question. about 50 died a day some because oldness, sickness's some died in the same places some not mostly in Africa. you are welcome and kid don't mention it.

Elephants have one of the longest gestation period among mammals. They are pregnant for a period of around 22 months. After the 22 month gestation, they giver birth to a calf that is approximately 250 pounds heavy and stands at around 2.5 feet tall

In Burmese society, elephants have traditionally held cultural, religious, and symbolic importance. They were revered and considered sacred animals, often associated with royalty and power. They were also used in ceremonies, processions, and as symbols of strength and wisdom.
