What are you waiting for? Hello friends, welcome to Happy Learning. In this video
we are going to learn about the world’s largest animal…
presenting the elephant.
As you already know the elephant is the largest terrestrial
animal in the world, second only to the enormous Blue
Whale, which makes any other animal look tiny.
There are two types of elephants, the African elephant
and the Asian elephant. It is very easy to differentiate
them by looking at their ears. The African elephant has
larger ears and their shape is like the silhoueFe of the
African continent. You can see it here, cant you? Don’t
they look like Africa?
Elephants are herbivore mammals, only feeding on grass,
and a lot of it, too, they need to eat around 150 kilos
daily. It’s not surprising they can weigh up to 7000 kilos.
An intriguing fact is that elephants can’t jump; they are
one of the few four legged animals which can’t do it. On
the other hand they do love water and are excellent
swimmers.
They have a great sense of smell and hearing, though
their eyesight is not very good. As you can see in the
images they have large ears and a long trunk which they
use for many different things, like eating, collecting
objects, absorbing water to spray on themselves or for
drinking and for communicating.
A female elephant´s pregnancy is around 22 months long,
that’s almost two years! Amazing! When the babies are
born they weigh 100 kilos and they are from that moment
on looked aVer and cared for by all the members of the
herd. Oh, I almost forgot! Elephants are very social
animals, and live in herds, united by various families and
guided normally by an elderly female. They are also very
caring, always helping each other.
Elephants can live up to 70 years old that is if the human
beings leave them alone. Unfortunately, they have been
rapidly disappearing from our Earth’s surface. Poachers
hunt many elephants illegally to hack off their ivory tusks.
On top of that, their habitat it diminishing due to
deforestation leaving them in great danger of being
extinct. They are about to disappear.
To make sure this does not happen, we ask you on behalf
of Happy Learning to look aVer and respect our nature
and all living things on the planet. If we all become
concerned about not dirtying, recycling more and
consuming only what we need, hopefully the elephants as
well as many more living creatures have a chance of
survival.
