A large greyish animal, found in Africa and India. The elephant is the heaviest living land animal. Its most typical characteristic is the trunk?, a very much elongated nose, which can be used to grab objects, such as food. Elephants also have tusk?s, large teeth coming out of their upper jaws. Elephants tusks are the major source of ivory, but because of the increased rarity of elephants, almost all hunting and trade is now illegal. |
