African bush elephant

The African elephant is the largest land animal on Earth, roaming the savannas and forests of sub-Saharan Africa. Known for its massive size, it has a long trunk, huge ears, and curved tusks that make it instantly recognizable.

• Its ears help cool its body by releasing excess heat.
• The trunk has two finger-like tips for grasping objects.
• Some males can weigh over 10 tons and stand nearly 4 meters tall.
