Andrea Weller Essers - Mi micsoda - Elefántok - Ormányos giants

The African elephant is 3.7 meters tall and weighs 7 tons, but its Asian relatives are not much smaller. They are the largest land animals alive today. Despite their huge size, they live peacefully in nature and can move almost silently. There are places where they can be hired for work. However, they are threatened with extinction because of their valuable tusks. It is incredible that even decades later, elephants remember the way to the feeding place, even if they have only been there once before.

Where do elephants live? Who leads the herd and how do its members communicate with each other? What is the muzzle good for? What does the elephant remember and for how long? And where are they revered as saints? Get to know the paddle-eared, columnar-legged, snouted, gray giants, the largest land animals on our planet!
