The Elephant

The elephants are herbivores that eat vegetation like grass, leaves, and fruits. They have almost hairless skin, four legs, and a long flexible trunk. Elephants live in family groups led by the adult females and include their young and other related females. They have large ears that can hear sounds from long distances and soft spots behind their ears that trainers use for commands. Elephants are now protected because their populations have declined in their habitats.

The Elephant

The elephants are herbivores and eat all types of vegetation such as grasses, leaves, and fruits.
They have almost hairless skin, four legs, and a distinctive long, flexible, prehensile trunk. The
elephants which is also known as the largest of all land mammals usually live in groups consisting
of adult female elephant as the leader of the group, their children and their relative female
elephants.

The elephants also have very sharp auditory because they have big and wide ears. By these ears,
they can hear sounds from a distance about tens kilometer. At the back of the ears, they have one
of the softest parts of their body which is called the knuckle. In a zoo, Mahouts (elephant
trainers) use their feet to steer or give commands to the animal via tha knuckle. Now, they are a
kind of protected animals because their population remains little in their habitat. Their population
began to decline year by year.

Giraffe
Giraffes are the tallest mammals in the world. We can find them in central, eastern and southern
Africa. Some of them are also kept in the zoo. A giraffe has a long neck and long legs. The long
neck helps it to eat leaves from the tall trees. It pulls the leaves by its long tounge. Around his
body, it has spotted patterns. “Giraffa camelopardalis” is its scientific name. On the top of its head,
there are small “horns” or knobs. They are used to protect the head when fighting.
