Elephants are gentle creatures that captivate our hearts and imaginations. There are two elephant species on the Earth today-African elephants and Asian elephants. However, some genetic studies suggest that the African elephant is two separate species-savannah elephants and forest elephants. All elephants are at risk. Asian elephants roam forests and grasslands in India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia. The African elephant population migrates across dense forests and arid deserts in 37 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
These sentient creatures are massive. Asian elephants weigh up to six tons, and can reach over 11 feet tall. African elephants range from eight to 13 feet in height and weigh over six and a half tons. Both Asian and African elephants have life spans of 60 to 70 years. Despite our long history studying elephants, there is much to learn about these complex creatures. From their ability to distinguish languages to their altruistic behavior, you too can learn more about the extraordinary elephant.
