Elephant, the largest existing land animals, a heavy plant-eating mammal with a prehensile trunk, long curved ivory tusks, and large ears, native to Africa and southern Asia. It is the largest living land animal.

The ears are small with dorsal borders folded laterally. It has up to 20 pairs of ribs and 34 caudal vertebrae.

Asian elephants are herbivores and will consume about 200 to 300 kilos of food per day and 150 liters of water. Elephants may be heavy animals, but they can run up to 15 miles per hour.
