The Elephant is the largest of all mammals
Category: elephants, general wildlife | Date: Apr 16 2008 | By: admin
An African elephant(Loxodonta Africana) is the largest of all land mammals and is remarkable not only for its size, colour, but also for its tusks, ears, trunk, intelligence and herd Loyalty. Their size is up to 11 feet tall, 7, 000 to 13, 200 pounds in weight.
Their life span range from 60- 70 years( approximately the same as humans). The habitat is in the dense forest to open plains, so that, they are available along the Tarangire - Manyara ecosystem( Ol Tukai). In the last centuries, elephants have been in danger of extinction. Today their numbers are increasing, but poaching and the conversion of wild lands to short-term uses are also rising. The Conservancy has trained local Game scouts/Anti- poaching teams
to protect elephants from illegal hunting/poaching. The Conservancy anti-poaching teams are monitoring current elephant distribution, movements and overall land use to safeguard elephant habitat.
Thank you very much for your kindness.
