Elephants are the biggest land animals in the world. (The world’s biggest animals are blue whales, but they live in the sea.) There are elephants in Africa and Asia. The two types of elephant are different – Asian elephants are usually smaller than African ones.

Elephants don’t eat other animals. They eat small trees and plants. But they are heavy – they can grow to about 7,000 kilos – so they can be very dangerous to people.

Elephants are intelligent. Like people, they live in family groups. But in many places elephants are in danger. One of the worst problems for elephants is hunting. Some people kill elephants because they want the animal’s tusks (its two long teeth).
