SAVE THE ELEPHANT!
No animals are bigger than whales, but elephants are bigger than all other animals on the land. There are
elephants in India and Africa. Indian elephants are a bit smaller and thex.valse got smaller ears!
Elephants eat fruit and plants, and they love water. When they're drinking at a river, they often play in
the water! They live for about 50 to 60 years in the wild, and about 80 years in safari parks. Elephants
sometimes attack smaller animals or humans, but they aren't usually dangerous. Humans are a lot more
dangerous! People hunt and kill between 10,000 and 20,000 elephants every year. Many people think
elephants are interesting, intelligent animals, and they want to help them. At the moment, safari parks
and zoos are protecting some elephants. There are 90 elephants in British zoos!
