Elephants are found in large numbers in Africa and South Asia. They inhabit the Savannahs of Africa and the dense rain forests of South Asia. Their natural habitat usually surrounds abundant water sources like lakes and rivers. They also prefer habitats with lush green vegetation and trees which they forage on. In the African continent, they can be found in countries Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe etc.
Yes, African elephants have been losing their habitat due to factors such as human encroachment, deforestation, and agricultural expansion. This loss of habitat puts elephants at risk of conflict with humans and limits their ability to find food and water. Efforts are being made to conserve and protect their habitats to ensure the survival of African elephants.
Indian elephants are fairly widely distributed in all parts of India. They live in forests and also in cultivated areas as the forested areas continue to shrink.
Yes, elephant habitat is declining rapidly. The fastest deforestation rate in the world is in the rainforests of Asia, where forests are cleared to make way for massive palm oil plantations. That is one of the three habitats of elephants. The habitat of elephants on the African plains continues to be fragmented by roads, while livestock grazing and the people in charge of those livestock keep trying to force elephants into smaller areas. The third habitat of elephants is the African rainforest, but that is threatened by deforestation, too.
It is estimated that around 415,000 African elephants live in nature preserves, national parks, and other protected areas across their range in Africa. However, these numbers can fluctuate due to poaching and habitat loss.
no elephants are not extinct they are becoming extinct though. About 100 years ago there were about 10 million elephants that walked the earth and now there are only about 500,000 left. They are becoming extinct because we are killing them for their thick beautiful ivory.

African elephants are being threatened by illegal hunting for meat and ivory, human elephant conflict and habitat loss
Asian elephants are smaller because their jungle habitat makes being large a disadvantage.
they lose their habitat for Home for people and farming
Elephants live in the African plains, African forests, or Asian scrub lands.
Savvannas, dry woodland, desert areas, mountains, and forests.

no, all though African elephants migrate to Africa's flood plain in summer

N0, elephants do NOT sleep underneath tree's. They have their own habitat just like other animals where they live with their families.
African Elephants share their habitat with animals like Lions, Cheetahs, Hyenahs, Leopards, Giraffe, Zebra, etc. The Asian Elephants share their habitat with animals like Tigers, Indian wild ox, wild dogs, deer, Rhinos etc.
