Elephants

Usually in mammals tusks are enlarged canine teeth but in elephants they are actually elongated incisors. Tusks are essentially no different from other teeth. A third of the tusk is actually hidden from view, embedded deep into the elephant's head. This part of the tusk is a pulp cavity made up of tissue, blood and nerves. The visible, ivory part of the tusk is made of dentine with an outer layer of enamel. Elephant ivory is unique which when viewed in cross-section reveals criss-cross lines that form a series of diamond shapes. Elephants tusk never stop growing so some old bulls display enormous examples. However the average size of tusks has decreased over the past hundred years because hunting elephants for their ivory has resulted in the 'big tusk gene' becoming increasingly rare.

Food chains are just smaller sections of food webs.

A wolf, in this case, would fit into the food chain: grass->deer->wolf

But the wolf does not just eat deer, and the deer may not just eat grass.

So the food web would look similar to

bush \

deer

grass / \ wolf

\ /

hare

\

lynx

It's unlikely for an elephant to intentionally hunt and eat a chicken as they are herbivores and primarily feed on plants. However, in rare cases, an elephant may inadvertently trample on or consume a chicken that happens to be in its path.

Elephants are probably the largest living mammals on earth. They don't have any natural predators that can attack a full grown elephant. However, In Africa lions and packs of hyenas have been known to attack an injured or extremely old elephant or an elephant calf that has strayed away from its herd. In Asia, a large adult Tiger or a Lion can attack a young elephant calf. Humans are the biggest enemies to elephants in all its habitats. Armed with guns hunters and poachers are the biggest threat to elephant numbers.

A female elephant is known as a cow, while a male is called a bull.

The male elephant stands up on his hind legs and mounts the female from behind. After mating, the two elephants often spend some time snuggling and entwining their trunks in an embrace.

Since price of ivory is soaring rapidly,Ivory is dealt minimum $1500 to max $1800 per pound normally in the market and if its good in quality (shiny & antique) could even fetch $7000 a KG.Someone been to market in china once said to me that a 2' carved tusk hardly 3 kilograms in weight being carved in 1900 to 1920 will easily fetch $15000.My advice will be to stay away from ever plunging into this investment because its

1. Illegal

2. The Elephants are facing a very high risk of extinction

PLz spread the word - Say NO to Ivory

yes,a elephant has a super sense. it is its huge ears.

a person who rides elephants is called a mahout

A dozen equals twelve and if you change it to a dozen elephants you are saying 12 elephants the answer is twelve elephants.

The elephant painting is located in the cave of Lascaux in southwestern France. It is part of a larger collection of prehistoric cave paintings dating back over 17,000 years. The painting depicts a lifelike representation of an elephant, created using natural pigments.

A group of elephants is called a herd. There is no name given for a line of elephants. Elephants do travel in a line led by the elder female. The calves will hold their mothers tail for protection.

Elephants vary considerably in weight, with females sometimes weighing less than half of what the males weigh. Due to the weaker gravity, an object there will weigh 6.3% of what it does on Earth. So a 5,000lb elephant would weigh 315 lbs while a 10,000 lb elephant would weigh 630 lbs.

full-grown sequoia contains enough wood to build thirty houses

At birth it is common for an elephant calf to weigh 120 kilograms (260 lb)

* 260 lb = 18 stone 8 pounds

The largest elephant ever recorded was shot in Angola in 1956. This male weighed about 12,000 kilograms (26,000 lb)

* 26,000 lb = 1,857 stone 2 pounds

An 'average' weight for a male would be 3492 kilograms (7,700 lb)

* 7,700 lb = 550 stone

it weighs approximation about 3.1 when they are born but when they start being toddlers usually around 6.5 and so on

120 kilograms (260 lb)

Elephants are very talented believe me :D

I love them....

Elephants are the largest land animal alive.

Elephants can lift a car with it's trunk. It can also run over enemies and charge

at them. But their very loving and can form a bond over you.

But elephants in the wild travel far distances for water. It's part of their migration.

They care for their young.

Guess what?! They can paint beautiful paintings, they cost a fortune!!!

To turn an elephant black in the achievement game, you typically have to complete a specific task or meet certain conditions within the game. These tasks or conditions are often set by the game developers and can vary from game to game. Check the game's achievements list or progress tracker for clues on what you need to do to turn the elephant black.

Yes, elephants can communicate over long distances through infrasound, which are low-frequency vocalizations that can travel through the ground and be detected by other elephants many miles away. This form of communication allows elephants to stay in touch with each other and coordinate their movements, especially during migrations or in search of resources.
