Elephant Mother and Baby - Collection of Mugs

Mother Elephant Protects her Baby while having a drink - Ceramic Mug

Elephants are the largest existing land animals. Three living species are currently recognized: the African Bush Elephant, the African Forest Elephant, and the Asian Elephant.

The distinctive features of all elephants include a long proboscis called a trunk, tusks, large ear flaps, massive legs, and tough but sensitive skin. The trunk is used to breathe, bring food and water to the mouth, and grasp objects. Tusks, which are derived from the incisor teeth, serve both as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging. The large ear flaps assist in maintaining a constant body temperature as well as in communication. The pillar-like legs carry their great weight.

Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia and are found in different habitats, including savannas, forests, deserts, and marshes. They are herbivorous, and they stay near water when it is accessible. They are considered to be keystone species, due to their impact on their environments. 

African bush elephants and Asian elephants are listed as endangered and African forest elephants as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). One of the biggest threats to elephant populations is the ivory trade as the animals are poached for their ivory tusks.
