How many wild elephants are left in the world?

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

What do elephants protect itself by?

Adult elephants are large, and therefore they need no protection. Their size prevents any animal attacking them. When an elephant is weak, sick, or a child and is in danger of being attacked because of their vunerability, the elephant will be in the middle of the parade(or herd) of elephants. Then any animal will not be able to get to the vunerable elephant.
