ЩО ELEPHANT ОЗНАЧАЄ У АНГЛІЙСЬКА?
Слон
Слони - великі ссавці сімейства Елефантида і порядок Пробоскідіди. Традиційно визнані два види: африканський слон та азіатський слонт, хоча деякі факти свідчать про те, що слони африканських кущів та африканські лісові слони є окремими видами. Слони розкидані по всій Африці в південній частині Сахари, Південній Азії та Південно-Східній Азії. Elephantidae є єдиним вижилим сімейством порядку Proboscidea; Інші, зараз вимерлі, сім'ї порядку включають мамонтів і мастодонів. Чоловіки-африканські слони є найбільшими вижилими наземними тваринами і можуть досягти висоти 4 м і важать 7000 кг. Всі слони мають кілька відмінних рис, найпомітнішим з яких є довгий тулуб або хоботок, який використовується для багатьох цілей, зокрема дихання, підйому води та захоплення предметів. Їхні різці перетворюються на бивні, які можуть служити зброєю і як інструмент для рухомих предметів та копання. Великі вушні заслінки слонів допомагають контролювати температуру тіла. Стовбу-подібні ніжки можуть нести свою величезну вагу. Африканські слони мають більші вуха і увігнені спинки, а азіатські слони мають вужчі вушні та опуклі або рівні спинки.
