CHE SIGNIFICA ELEPHANT IN INGLESE
Elefante
Gli elefanti sono grandi mammiferi della famiglia Elephantidae e l'ordine Proboscidea. Tradizionalmente, sono riconosciute due specie, l'elefante africano e l'elefante asiatico, anche se alcune prove suggeriscono che gli elefanti africani e gli elefanti forestali africani sono specie separate. Gli elefanti sono sparsi in tutta l'Africa subsahariana, l'Asia meridionale e l'Asia sudorientale. Elephantidae sono l'unica famiglia sopravvissuta dell'ordine Proboscidea; Altre, ora estinte, famiglie dell'ordine comprendono mammut e mastodon. Gli elefanti africani maschili sono i più grandi animali terrestri sopravvissuti e possono raggiungere un'altezza di 4 m e pesare 7.000 kg. Tutti gli elefanti hanno diversi tratti distintivi, il più notevole dei quali è un lungo tronco o una proboscide, usata per molti scopi, in particolare respirazione, acqua di sollevamento e oggetti afferranti. I loro incisivi crescono in zanne, che possono servire come armi e come strumenti per spostare oggetti e scavare. I grandi flaps dell'elefante aiutano a controllare la loro temperatura corporea. Le loro gambe come il pilastro possono portare il loro grande peso. Gli elefanti africani hanno le orecchie più grosse e le spalle concave mentre gli elefanti asiatici hanno orecchie più piccole e convex o schienali di livello.
