Elephants are royal animals! No wonder Kings mounted them when they had to travel from
one place to another and even during war times. Have you ever mounted an elephant? You
will feel like a prince or princess enjoying a majestic ride and a lovely view of the
surroundings.
Indian Elephants have smaller ears when compared to their African friends. They have thick,
dry skin with little spiky hair and are grayish-brown in color. They are found in the forest
areas of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Orissa and Assam. They love to move from one
forest area to another and surprisingly the females lead the herd. Elephants are vegetarians
and feed on grasses, bamboo, leaves and even bananas.
The elephants are the most intelligent animals. They are very sensitive and live close to their
friends and families helping and looking after each other. Elephants can be spotted crying or
weeping at the loss of their loved ones. They never leave a wounded friend alone and have
been seen digging graves for the burial of the dead.
At the same time they show a sense of humor and are capable of mimicry and play. They can
copy sounds they hear and love to suck up water and spray it around. They can use tools,
unfasten belts and changes use to tie them. They can even play games.
