Elephant trekking and show. Kho Samui, Thailand. There are two species of elephant: the African elephant recognized by its big, broad ears and the more placid Asian elephant which is shorter and stockier. Elephants are the largest land mammals still in existence and often live to be 70 years old or more. The average weight of an African elephant is about 7 tonnes. The largest elephant recorded is reputed to have weighed a colossal 12 tonnes and had a shoulder height of 4.2 metres. Elephants symbolize wisdom in Asian cultures and are famed for their memory and intelligence. |
