Elephants

Bulls average around 2500 lbs and stand around 6 feet at the shoulder or more.

Lions are the enemy of elephants because lions have been known to hunt and kill baby elephants. In fact, large groups of lions have learned how to successfully hunt and kill adult elephants who are not in the company of other adult elephants who will help protect them.

Men may hurt elephants for various reasons, such as for ivory trade, capturing elephants for entertainment in circuses or tourist attractions, or due to conflicts between elephants and human settlements. It is important to promote education and conservation efforts to protect elephants and reduce instances of harm towards them.

Newborn elephants are quite large. These big babies weigh more than most adult human beings averaging between 200 and 265 pounds.

YES... The elephant creepers do have furry leaves. Not fur per se, but fine hairs on the bottom of the leaf (that is silver coloured or really light green). These hairs give the feeling of being furry. sort of like touching chamois.

I have them in my balcony as I do live in Bangkok at the moment. Great sturdy plants, the leaves are huge and heart shaped (or elephant ears like). The vines are thick and as well furry. Beautiful flowers...

Yes, elephants do lie down to rest, usually for short periods of time. They can also lie down to sleep, especially in a safe and comfortable environment.

The average elephant's foot is about 17 inches wide and 17 inches long. The area of the foot is about 289 square inches, though depending on the shape of the foot it may be closer to 240 square inches.

Elephants have a gestation period of around 22 months, which is the longest pregnancy of any mammal. This lengthy period allows for the development of the calf to a point where it is better able to survive after birth.

Male Elephants are called Bulls and Female Elephants are called cows.

Elephants are used for transport in Thailand for many reasons. First, their incredible strength allows them to carry heavy weight. Elephants also have the ability to navigate through heavy terrain and dense forest. With a lot of training, an elephant can become quite tame which generally makes them safe to work around people.

An elephant's trunk can weigh up to 300 pounds, as it is a muscular structure that contains around 40,000 muscles. The trunk is used for various tasks such as eating, drinking, breathing, and communication.

nobody can know for sure, but approx over 100 000 animals are poached worldwide each year.

An elephant can grow back its tusk it takes about a year to get to there full length. Tusk are like a giant tooth.
Yes they do they take around about a year to grow to their full size .

Elephants live in a variety of climates, from hot and humid tropical forests to dry savannas. They are well-adapted to both hot and cold environments, and their large size helps regulate their body temperature.

Mankind has hunted elephants for a very long time. In prehistoric times, men went on hunting trips to hunt mammoths, which were cousins to elephants.

There are three known species of elephants around today. They are: the African elephant, which has very large ears; the Indian elephant, which has much smaller ears and lives in India; and the recently classified Forest elephant.

Over the years, elephants have been hunted for two main reasons: the meat could feed a whole village; and most importantly the two long tusks can be sold for a lot of money. Some other elephant products are leather made of its skin, and there was a time when the feet were used to make umbrella stands.

Tusks, which are made of ivory, became so valuable that poachers would hunt and kill dozens of elephants in one night, just to butcher them for the tusks. The rest of the animal would be left behind. This awful practice is so bad that there are very few elephants left in the wild. The sale and trade of ivory has been severely restricted in recent years, but sadly, that has not stopped the illegal killing of elephants. The situation is so bad in Africa, that men who are assigned to protect the elephant herds are allowed to kill poachers when necessary.

The Elephant's Memory is a pictorial language consisting of more than a hundred and a fifty combinable graphic elements (pictograms and ideograms). It invites people from various cultural backgrounds to communicate and explore a new means of expression. The system presents a playful learning environment oriented primarily towards children, and provides an explorational tool enabling new approaches to the concept of language.The pictograms develop a visual link between the members of a community, and provide an original material for families and educators to encourage dialogue and creativity. The Elephant's Memory is designed as an experimental workshop where innovative reflections on language, computers, and communication can be explored in small or large groups. As the Internet turns into a global multi-lingual community, the project searches for new ways to bridge cultures, and builds a transitional space between natural languages.

It is called a trunk and they use it to feed themselves as they are very large, heavy animals so having a trunk makes it easier to get food out of high up or awkward places. They can also fill it with water and use it to wash themselves or give themselves a drink.

The symbol of an elephant with a baby elephant inside typically represents fertility, family, and protection. It can also symbolize strength, wisdom, and maternal care. In some cultures, it may be seen as a symbol of motherhood and nurturing.

African elephants are wild animals and it is not safe or ethical to ride them. Elephant sanctuaries may offer opportunities to observe elephants in their natural habitat, but these experiences do not involve riding the animals. It is important to prioritize the well-being and conservation of elephants by supporting responsible tourism practices.
