Elephant

Elephants are the largest living land mammals, divided into two species: African elephants and Asian elephants. Their most prominent feature is the long trunk, a powerful organ formed by the fusion of the nose and upper lip, used for breathing, smelling, grasping objects, and sucking up water. Elephants also possess massive ears that help regulate body temperature and communication. These remarkably intelligent animals exhibit complex social behaviors, including mourning deceased companions and self-awareness. Elephants are herbivores that consume large quantities of grass, leaves, bark, and fruits daily, and can live for 60-70 years.
