An elephant is the largest land animal, known for its massive size, long trunk, and large ears. There are three main species: the African bush elephant, the African forest elephant, and the Asian elephant. Elephants are herbivores, primarily feeding on grass, leaves, and fruits. They are social animals, often living in family groups led by a matriarch. Elephants have a unique trunk that serves multiple purposes, including feeding, drinking, and social interactions. Their large ears help regulate body temperature, while their tusks, which are modified incisors, are used for digging and foraging. Elephants are also known for their intelligence and strong memory.
