Gentle Giants of the Savanna and Forest
A mother elephant stands peacefully beside her young calf, showcasing their large floppy ears and long trunks. Female elephants, known as cows, form tight family herds led by the oldest female, called the matriarch. Mothers provide attentive care, protection, and guidance to their calves for several years as the young learn how to navigate their habitat.
Facts About Elephant Trunks and Ears
An elephant's trunk is a powerful upper lip and nose fused together, containing over forty thousand individual muscles. Elephants use their trunks to breathe, smell, drink water, grab objects, and communicate through touch. Their wide ears act as natural cooling fans, releasing heat from blood vessels as they flap them in warm weather.
