Savannenelefanten, or savanna elephants, are the largest land mammals found primarily in the African savanna. They are known for their large ears, which help regulate body temperature, and their long trunks, used for feeding, drinking, and social interactions. These elephants typically live in herds led by a matriarch and are herbivorous, feeding on grasses, leaves, and fruits. These elephants play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to maintain the landscape. Their feeding habits create pathways for other animals and promote the growth of new vegetation. Unfortunately, savanna elephants face threats from habitat loss and poaching for their ivory tusks.
