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).

African Bush Elephants are herbivorous. They are devouring grass of different kind leaves, shorter branches and boughs and fruits. Elephants have few teeth, which are used for them for grinding food down. Elephants most often die with death from starvation in 70. of year of the living because of loss of all teeth for the time. Because of that they cannot take more food up. The daily nutritional demand at elephants exceeds 200 kg. A demand for water is 190 l.
