| SAVE THE ELEPHANT! No animals are bigger than whales, but elephants are bigger than all other animals on the land. There are elephants in India and Africa. Indian elephants are a bit smaller and they’ve also got smaller ears! Elephants eat fruit and plants, and they love water. When they’re drinking at a river, they often play in the water! They live for about 50 to 60 years in the wild, and about 80 years in safari parks. Elephants sometimes attack smaller animals or humans, but they aren’t usually dangerous. Humans are a lot more dangerous! People hunt and kill between 10,000 and 20,000 elephants every year. Many people think elephants are interesting, intelligent animals, and they want to help them.
