African Elephant

Elephants are the largest living land animals. They have large appetites, often eating from 200 to 300kg of leaves, branches, and bark in a day. Females form herds with their sisters and young, while adult males will live alone or in herds of males. The African Elephant is known for its large size, and is bigger than the Asian Elephant.
