Exploring the World of Elephants

The ancestors of the elephant once inhabited much of the planet, but today, only two species endure: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. In Exploring the World of Elephants, young readers learn about the physical attributes of the largest land animal on Earth. Boasting a massive body, huge ears, a long trunk and formidable tusks, the elephant is a force to be reckoned with. But the highly intelligent elephant's sophisticated approach to its family and social life makes it even more fascinating.
