Elephants are cross the River

The largest living land animals are the elephants. They are noted for their long trunk, which is an elongated upper lip and nose. They have columnlike legs and a huge head with wide, flat ears. Mammals of Africa and Asia, elephants live in habitats ranging from thick rainforests to savannas. The great size of elephants and the thickness and toughness of their skins protect them from most other animals. Since they have few enemies to fear, elephants are usually peaceful and easygoing. They show great affection for one another, and females spend their lives as members of a family herd.
