象科, or the family of elephants, includes three main species: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. These large mammals are known for their long trunks, which they use for various tasks such as feeding, drinking, and social interactions. Elephants are herbivores and can consume large amounts of vegetation daily. Elephants are highly social animals, often living in family groups led by a matriarch. They are known for their intelligence, strong memory, and complex communication skills. Conservation efforts are crucial for protecting elephants from threats like habitat loss and poaching, which endanger their populations in the wild.
