An animal I like the most is an elephant.
The elephants are the biggest land animals.
They are herbivorous and can be identified because of their trunk.
The trunk is the projection of their nose and the upper lips.
There are two types of elephants, the Indian and the African.
African elephants are bigger than their Indian counterparts.
They have comparatively larger ears.
Among the African elephants both the males and females have tusks whereas, only the males among the Indian elephants have tusks and so they are called tuskers.
The back of the Indian elephants are convex whereas that of the African elephants are concave.
Indian elephants can be tamed and they are more beautiful.
Elephants are gregarious animals and live in herds headed by tuskers.
They have a well structured family life.
The young ones, called the calf, are looked after by the cow elephants.
Their cry is called trumpet.
In India, elephants are captured, tamed and used for various purposes.
Elephants are among the few animals whose existence is not endangered till now.
