An elephant is a large, gray mammal with a long trunk, big ears, and a distinctive tusk. They are the largest land animals and are native to Africa and Asia. Elephants are highly intelligent and social animals, living in close-knit family groups led by a matriarch. They are herbivores, feeding on leaves, fruits, and grasses. Elephants have been listed as vulnerable species due to habitat loss and poaching from poaching for their ivory tusks.
