Hi, I am a elephant

Speaking of me and mine

Do you think we are soft and cute?

In fact, although we look very cute

But it is indeed the largest "giant beast" on land

To ensure your safety

Meet us in the wild

Don't rush to us!

Elephant is the world's largest terrestrial habitat mammals, which are divided into three types: Asian, African elephants and jungle elephants.

Asian elephant is 5-6 meters long, 2.1-3.6 meters tall, and weighs 3-5 tons. It is the largest terrestrial animal in Asia.

However, in the face of African elephants, Asian elephants can be regarded as "petite and cute". African elephants are the largest terrestrial animals in the world today, weighing 4-7 tons and 3-4.5 meters tall.

With such a huge body, in order to survive, each elephant needs to eat hundreds of kilograms of food, which is equivalent to 6%-8%of weight. Grass, shrubs, bark, etc. are all in the recipes of elephants. For physical needs, they also eat soil to obtain salt and minerals. Of course, crops such as corn, bananas and pineapples are also loved by elephants. In the journey of the "short -nose family" to the north, the elephants had entered the villagers' house and the field to eat corn.
