Savanna elephants

Savanna elephants are large, intelligent mammals native to Africa's grasslands and open woodlands. They are distinguished by their massive tusks, which they use for digging, stripping bark, and defense. These elephants live in social groups led by adult females called herds, and they communicate through sounds and gestures over long distances. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by shaping the environment, such as creating watering holes and dispersing seeds. Adapted to warm, open landscapes, savanna elephants are vital for maintaining the health and diversity of their habitats.
