Elephas is a genus of large mammals commonly known as elephants. This group includes three species: the Asian elephant, the African bush elephant, and the African forest elephant. Elephants are known for their intelligence, social behavior, and strong family bonds. They are herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, leaves, and fruits. Elephants are characterized by their long trunks, large ears, and tusks, which are modified incisors. They play a crucial role in their ecosystems by helping to maintain the balance of their habitats. Unfortunately, elephants face threats from habitat loss and poaching, leading to declining populations in the wild.
