About Elephant
Elephant Animals - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: Proboscidea is an order including only one family, Elephantidae or the elephants, with 3 species: the Savannah Elephant and Forest Elephant (which were collectively known as the "African elephant"), and the Asian Elephant (formerly known as the Indian Elephant). During the period of the ice age there were more species, which are now extinct, including the elephant-like mammoth and mastodont and the "shovel tuskers", the platybelodon and amebelodon.Elephants are the largest living land mammals. At birth it is common for an elephant calf to weigh 100kg (225 pounds). It takes 20 to 22 months for a baby elephant to develop, the longest gestation period of any land animal. An elephant's lifespan is 60 to 70 years, provided it doesn't fall victim to poachers. The largest elephant ever recorded was a male shot in Angola in 1974, that weighed 12 tonnes (13.5 tons). Body characteristics: An elephant's most obvious characteristic is the trunk, a much elongated combination of nose and upper lip, which can be used to grab objects such as food. Elephants also have tusks, large teeth coming out of their upper jaws. Elephant tusks are the major source of ivory, but because of the increased rarity of elephants, hunting and ivory trade is now illegal. Elephants have three premolars and three molars in each quadrant. They erupt in order from front to back, then wear down as the elephant chews its highly fibrous diet. When the last molar has worn out, the elephant typically dies of malnutrition; elephants in captivity can be kept alive longer than that by feeding them preground food. The molars of the African elephant are loxodont, hence the genus name. Skin diseases often occur, from which they try to protected themselves by taking mud baths, shower one another with water from the trunk, and rolling in dust. The skin can therefore appear brown or reddish, but the natural color is light gray. Their significant coarse and wrinkle...
