African elephant
African elephant (Loxodonta africana) standing amongst dead trees. The African elephant often uses its immense weight to push down trees to feed on the uppermost leaves. It is a social herbivore which inhabits the savannah and forests of sub- Saharan Africa. Groups are ruled by an elderly matriarch. The elephant communicates using a wide variety of low frequency sounds which can travel great distances through its environment. It is the largest land animal, reaching up to 7000 kilograms in weight in the adult male.
