Elephants

There is no such thing as a male cow. A cow is a mature female bovine that had had a calf, and a bull is an intact male bovine. So the young offspring of a bull and cow is a calf.

No. An elephant has thick hide that can protect itself from teeth and claws. Also, the elephant would crush the bear with its foot.

The cross-section of proboscidean tusks reveal natural grain lines, called "Schreger lines." The angle at which these lines meet each other can be measured - if it is an angle less than 90 degrees, it is a fossil mammoth tusk. If the lines meet in more than 100 degrees, then it is an elephant tusk.

Elephants are a type of large mammal in the Elephantidae family. There are two different primary branches of elephants, including the African elephant, and the Asian elephant. Elephants can be found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, as well as Southeast and South Asia. The male elephant can grow as large as 13 feet tall and weigh in at 15,000 pounds. Additionally, the male elephant can grow large incisors known as tusks that not only make for a spectacle, but have put them on the list of top poatched animals as hunters seek the beautiful ivory that makes up these large tusks.

There is some resemblance, although it is far from exact.

Every person has their own sensibility and view of what their value and tradition system is.

one is hairy and extinct and the other ones an elephant

It's not "who" it's "what" and the answer is "EVOLUTION"

-1)Hippo is the second largest land animal (after elephant) . It is heavier even than the white rhino, despite the fact that the white rhino is taller at the shoulder. Male hippos weigh from 3 to 5 tons. They are 4.5 meters long (nearly 15 feet) and 1.5 meter tall at the shoulder (5 feet tall).

2)Hippos can't jump!

3)A hippo can run at nearly 30km/hour (19 miles per hour), which is faster than average man.

4)Hippo skin is 3cm thick (1.2 inches) on the average! However, it can be up to 5 cm thick (2 inches) on the rear and back but just 1 cm thick (0.4 inches) on the belly.

5)Hippo eats 40-60kg of food at night. It eats mainly grass. Hippo grabs the grass and breaks it off by using its tough lips (the front teeth don't take any part in feeding). Hippos are mainly herbivorous, but on a few occasions they were seen eating meat.

6)Hippo is considered to be Africa's most dangerous animal, as it kills more people every year than any other animal of Africa (even more than the cape buffalo).

7)Hippo, if pressed, can hold its breath for up to 30 minutes while being underwater.

8)Male hippo is extremely territorial and charges straight forward against any animal that invades its territory (even against a rhino or a cape buffalo) and forces it to go away. The only animal that a male hippo is afraid to face and will run from it is the elephant. Hippos generally live harmoniously with crocodiles in the river, but sometimes a hippo may attack and kill an adult crocodile with one bite. Adult crocodiles, on the other hand, sometimes prey on hippo calves (baby hippos). Lions sometimes prey on adult hippos but they attack from behind and as a group (pride) .Two big male lions, though, are enough to kill an adult hippo, as long as the hippo doesn't manage to reach the water and sink underwater. However, one bite of the hippo can kill an adult male lion.

9)Hippo has the largest mouth of any LAND animal and the second largest mouth of any animal of the planet (after the whales). Hippo can open its mouth more than 1 meter wide (more than 3 feet wide)! When a hippo open its mouth, its giant jaws can be drawn apart as far as 150 degrees! A hippo can very easily crush a big watermelon in its mouth. The bite force of a female hippo was measured by a zoologist called Brady Barr at 1821 pounds per square inch. The bite force of a male hippo has never been measured due to its aggressiveness. The lower jaw is over sized, compared to the upper jaw, because of the enormous teeth that the lower jaw carries.

10)Hippo has enormous teeth. Its lower canines can be up to 70cm long, and weigh 4kg each. However, only 30 cm of the tooth are exposed and can be seen when a hippo opens its mouth. Hippo canines are very sharp and they are made of the hardest enamel in the world, as its hardness is 6-7 on the Mohs scale of hardness!! No other animal on the planet has such hard teeth. These lower canines are reputed to be able to deflect even a bullet! This is why the lower canines are the hippo's main weapon for fighting. Hippo uses the lower canines either to bite or as horns. Under the enamel coating, the canines are made of ivory. Hippo's incisors don't have enamel at all. They are only made of ivory. Hippo ivory is also the hardest ivory of any other animal ivory in the world (including elephant ivory, whale ivory, walrus ivory, warthog ivory, etc). Hippo's lower incisors are also used for fighting (hippos use them like horns, because they grow horizontally). Hippo's upper canines are much thinner and much shorter than hippo's lower canines, ( therefore much lighter than the lower canines). They are also less sharp than the lower canines. The enamel of the upper canines is also

less thick and softer than the enamel of the lower canines. Hippo's upper incisors grow vertically (while hippo's lower incisors grow horizontally). The upper incisors are much smaller than the lower incisors. Just like the lower incisors, the upper incisors don't have enamel at all. They are simply made of ivory. Ivory of the upper incisors is less thick and less hard than the ivory of the lower incisors. Hippo's premolars and molars (teeth located at the back of the mouth) are roughly square and their size increases towards the back of the mouth. The estimated age of a hippo can be determined from their wear. Premolars and molars are mostly used for working food rather than fighting. Premolars and molars have enamel, but not as hard and not as thick as the canines. Premolars and molars are also much smaller teeth than the front teeth (canines and incisors).

11)Hippos spend up to 18 hours a day in the water and devote their time mostly to relaxing. Like other aquatic mammals, hippo has very little hair.

12)Hippos live in groups that are known as pods or herds. The largest pods can contain up to 100 hippos. Every pod is led by a territorial male, which is the most dominant and strongest male (the other male hippos generally show submission to it, or keep a distance from it). Those hippos who don't want to live under the dominance of the territorial male keep a distance by inhabiting different sections of the river (less convenient sections, but at least they live there without being under the rule of the dominant male). The group of the hippos that have moved to a different section of the river, so as to avoid the presence of the territorial male, are known as "bachelors". The other choice for a male hippo of the pod is to try to fight it and become the new dominant, territorial male. Even female hippos are only tolerated by the dominant male as long as they act submissively. However, most of the day no fight occurs and there is peace and friendly atmosphere in the pod.

13)It was found that at least 18 species of birds use the back of the hippo either for resting or as a base for hunting fish and invertebrates.

All the wooly mammoths were frozen to death. They got frozen in a big ice burg and are still preserved at sea somewhere. but nobody has found them yet so they are lonley at sea and they need a friend:( if you were a wooly mammoth trapped in an ice cube you would be cold to.

Yes this is true if you watch the TV show Mythbusters they hae done a special on it

An adult elephant will eat 300-600 pounds of food per day. Now that just makes me hungry.
Elephants eat between 149 and 169 kg (330-375 lb.) of vegetation daily.
Elephants in the wild consumes grass, leaves and such, with a high percentage of water, and may eat up to 300 kgs/day. In captivity they eat about 30 kg hay, 10 kg carrots or similar, and 5-10 kg of bread. Some zoos give a "breakfast" of different grains, about 3-10 kg. Also vitamin's, (especially A and D) minerals, (salt, calcium) and trace elements (such as Selenium) are often added. Depending on the temperature, they drink from 100 to 300 liters/day. Above 250 liters a day indicates something is wrong. Elephants suffering from TBC may drink upto 600 liters.
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.

No, Elephants detest living in a zoo because there are no open areas for them to run about in and many tourists of the zoo distract them. And also they have been given needles to make them not be so mean to the people.

Contrary to his show name, Joseph Carey Merrick (1862-1890) was quite short. When examined by Dr. Frederick Treves in 1884, Merrick's height was recorded as about 5'2." His head, by contrast, measured 36 inches in circumference!

Baby Elephants are one of the largest and heavies babies at birth. At birth, they weigh approximately 250 pounds and can stand at around 2.5 feet tall. They can walk almost immediately after birth

mammoths

There are two major reasons. The first is evaporative cooling: as the water evaporates from the mud, it helps cool the elephant. The second is pest control: it helps protect their skin from biting and stinging insects and parasites.

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

Lions

Male African elephants stand at around 10 to 13 feet tall at their shoulder and weigh between 10000 to 13000 pounds

Female African elephants stand at around 7.2 to 8.5 feet tall at their shoulder and weigh between 4500 to 7000 pounds.

Nations worldwide have imposed a ban on hunting elephants. conservationists world over are trying to create awareness among the public about these gentle beasts. Countries are taking steps to conserve the habitats where elephants live. These are some steps taken to conserve elephants.

Elephants are probably the largest living mammals on earth. They don't have any natural predators that can attack a full grown elephant. However, adolescent or young asian elephants can fall prey to adult Lions or Tigers. This can only happen if the youngster strays away from the herd.
