elephant

An elephant is a large, intelligent mammal known for its massive body, thick gray skin, long trunk, and prominent tusks. They are social animals that live in herds mainly in Africa and Asia. Elephants use their trunks for breathing, drinking, grabbing objects, and communicating. They play a vital role in their ecosystems by shaping the environment through activities like tree cutting and seed dispersal. Despite their size, elephants are highly sensitive and emotional creatures. They are protected by conservation efforts due to threats like poaching and habitat loss. Their impressive presence makes them one of the most recognizable and admired animals worldwide.
