- African elephants live in family units across sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting grasslands and various other habitats. They communicate using rumbling noises, vocalizations, and body language. - Elephants face threats from human expansion and conflicts over resources, which has led to declining populations. Methods to prevent crop raiding like guarding fields, electric fencing, and shooting elephants have had limited success and also result in harm. - Elephants are herbivorous and forage for foods like grass, leaves, fruits, branches, and twigs throughout the day and night. They have few teeth which are used to grind their food.
