CHE SIGNIFICA ELEPHANTS IN INGLESE

Elefante

Elephant

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.

Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. Traditionally, two species are recognised, the African elephant and the Asian elephant, although some evidence suggests that African bush elephants and African forest elephants are separate species. Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Elephantidae are the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea; other, now extinct, families of the order include mammoths and mastodons. Male African elephants are the largest surviving terrestrial animals and can reach a height of 4 m and weigh 7,000 kg. All elephants have several distinctive features the most notable of which is a long trunk or proboscis, used for many purposes, particularly breathing, lifting water and grasping objects. Their incisors grow into tusks, which can serve as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging. Elephants' large ear flaps help to control their body temperature. Their pillar-like legs can carry their great weight. African elephants have larger ears and concave backs while Asian elephants have smaller ears and convex or level backs.
