Description: The majestic African elephant herd peacefully enjoys water from a river. African elephants, also known as Loxodonta africana, are the largest land animals on Earth. These impressive creatures are divided into two subspecies: the savanna elephant and the forest elephant. The savanna elephant, with a shoulder height of nearly three meters and a weight of up to 7.5 tons, inhabits the dry forests and savannas of Africa. The elephant population is threatened by the ivory trade and the loss of their natural habitat. Let's protect these fascinating creatures together.
