Elephants are gentle giants. There are 2 species of elephants surviving today: the African Elephant and the Asian Elephant.
Elephants are social beings and lead very emotional lives. Elephants live in herds, led by a matriarch. All the female elephants in the herd work together to care of their young.

Elephants, like most other species of animals, have been hunted down to near extinction. The reason is again, sheer human greed and arrogance: The tusks are used as status symbols in certain parts of the world.

Elephants need our help now more than ever.
