Hello friends, welcome to Happy Learning. In this video • we are going to learn about the world’s largest animal… • presenting the elephant. • As you already know the elephant is the largest terrestrial • animal in the world, second only to the enormous Blue • Whale, which makes any other animal look tiny. • There are two types of elephants, the African elephant • and the Asian elephant. It is very easy to differentiate • them by looking at their ears. The African elephant has • larger ears and their shape is like the silhoueFe of the • African continent. You can see it here, cant you? Don’t • they look like Africa? • Elephants are herbivore mammals, only feeding on grass, • and a lot of it, too, they need to eat around 150 kilos • daily. It’s not surprising they can weigh up to 7000 kilos. • An intriguing fact is that elephants can’t jump; they are • one of the few four legged animals which can’t do it. On • the other hand they do love water and are excellent • swimmers. • They have a great sense of smell and hearing, though • their eyesight is not very good. As you can see in the • images they have large ears and a long trunk which they • use for many different things, like eating, collecting • objects, absorbing water to spray on themselves or for • drinking and for communicating. • A female elephant´s pregnancy is around 22 months long, • that’s almost two years! Amazing! When the babies are • born they weigh 100 kilos and they are from that moment • on looked aVer and cared for by all the members of the • herd. Oh, I almost forgot! Elephants are very social • animals, and live in herds, united by various families and • guided normally by an elderly female. They are also very • caring, always helping each other. • Elephants can live up to 70 years old that is if the human • beings leave them alone. Unfortunately, they have been • rapidly disappearing from our Earth’s surface. Poachers • hunt many elephants illegally to hack off their ivory tusks. • On top of that, their habitat it diminishing due to • deforestation leaving them in great danger of being • extinct. They are about to disappear. • To make sure this does not happen, we ask you on behalf • of Happy Learning to look aVer and respect our nature • and all living things on the planet. If we all become • concerned about not dirtying, recycling more and • consuming only what we need, hopefully the elephants as • well as many more living creatures have a chance of • survival. • Goodbye friends, and don’t forget to subscribe to Happy • Learning TV.
