Elephant

Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth and are known for their intelligence, memory, and social behavior. Native to Africa and Asia, elephants live in matriarchal family groups. Their trunks are incredibly versatile, used for breathing, grasping, and communication. Elephants have strong family bonds and mourn their dead, displaying empathy rarely seen in animals. They play a vital role in their ecosystem by spreading seeds and creating water holes. Despite being revered, they face threats from habitat loss and poaching. Conservation organizations strive to protect them from extinction.
