African elephants are larger in stature than Asian elephants.  They have large ear lobes.  Both male and female African elephants have tusks.  However, ivory is rarely found in Asian female elephants.  The back of African elephants curves slightly inwards behind the head and is flat without raised forehead ridges.  These have two petals at the apex of the thallus.  But the front feet have four or five claws and the hind feet have three claws.  Asian elephants have slightly raised backs.  There are two ridges on the forehead and small earlobes.  There is only one petal at the apex of the thallus (upper margin).  The front feet have five claws and the hind feet have four claws.

Elephants are herbivores or herbivores.  They like to eat bamboo and sugarcane.  They spend 16 hours a day gathering food.  Also, their digestive capacity is very slow.  Therefore, 40 percent of these foods are digested.  Hence, they tend to consume a lot of food.  Well-grown elephants consume about 140 to 270 kg of food per day.Male elephants are usually 3 meters tall and weigh 6000 kilograms.  Elephant skin is very thick.  There will be a thickness of about 3 cm.  However, it will be slow.  Thus, mosquitoes etc. will also bite.  An elephant has four strong legs.  Despite its bulky body, the elephant is able to climb and descend hills and steep places efficiently.  The proverb "the foot of an elephant glides" is a reference to the elephant`s gait in long undulations. The elephant's special feature is its trunk.  It is best seen only in elephants.  Although a few animals have a slightly elongated frontal nose (like the proboscis monkey), there are no animals with long trunk-like limbs.  The trunk is made up of a total of 40,000 muscles.  It is flexible in all directions.  At the tip of the trunk are the nostrils through which the elephant breathes, and tiny, highly sensitive fingertips.[1]  The trunk can lift anything from a small stick to a large tree.  They usually help in picking up food and drinking water.  The elephant repels attacks from hostile animals with its trunk.  Because the neck is short the prominence of the trunk is great.Male elephants are having two tusks.
