The African Bush Elephant is an intelligent animal. The brain of the elephant is weighing the about 6000 g.
Elephants live in herds. The oldest female is a head of the herd.
A man is the greatest threat to elephants. Elephants are in danger as a result of destroying the environment and the poaching. Killing for ivory, skins and the meat, frequently for sport led to the fall in the population of around a few million elephants to 700 tys. of specimens in 1989. Now the African elephant is being protected with regulations of the Washington convention (CITES).
