Adult bulls mostly interact with family groups when looking for a mate. Males (bulls) leave their family groups when they reach puberty and may live alone or with other males. The groups, which do not include bulls, are usually led by the oldest cow, known as the matriarch. Females (cows) tend to live in family groups, which can consist of one female with her calves or several related females with offspring. Elephants have a fission–fusion society, in which multiple family groups come together to socialise. They are considered to be keystone species, due to their impact on their environments. They are herbivorous, and they stay near water when it is accessible. The pillar-like legs carry their great weight.Įlephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia and are found in different habitats, including savannahs, forests, deserts, and marshes. The large ear flaps assist in maintaining a constant body temperature as well as in communication. Tusks, which are derived from the incisor teeth, serve both as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging. The trunk is used for breathing, bringing food and water to the mouth, and grasping objects. Distinctive features of all elephants include a long proboscis called a trunk, tusks, large ear flaps, massive legs, and tough but sensitive skin. African elephants have larger ears and concave backs, whereas Asian elephants have smaller ears, and convex or level backs. Elephantidae also contains several extinct groups, including the mammoths and straight-tusked elephants.
