The elephants give birth to twins Vfahi this case you need the support of all members of the herd for the care of young children.Occurs on a rare to give birth to female twins means that the small weight at birth and an additional responsibility in the care of two small-like young people in their desire to play and negligence of the dangers, they spent their time playing and to identify the creatures around, and the female large and the rest of the female care and protection where required it so.Herds of males and less disciplined and coherent cooperation of the herds of females, and separately from the wandering herds of females, they are continuing with the continuing under the audio which is less complex than the herds of females.Elephant spends three-quarters of today's plants in chewing poor in nutritional value and therefore replace the food poverty compensation amount and forest elephants strip is eat 200 kilograms of vegetation a day, so the elephant replaces fierce molarium 6 times in his life to the large consumption.Elephant out a massive amount of manure up to 136 kilograms, live on dung beetleElephant fear fire and loud voices and that when elephants attack on the farm, farmers accelerates Asians carry flares as fireworks knocking on the plates.Elephant is not afraid of the mouse as is common, and those old story has no basis in truth.When you feel elephants near death or exhausted they go to the places of water, and die there, and the accumulation of bone becomes a metaphor so-called tomb of elephants.

The importance of elephants

Elephants are an important natural functions; for example, it helps in converting woodland to open areas because of feeding trees and other plants. Many prefer the animals to live in open environments. Elephants are also drilled dry riverbed until it reaches the water below the surface, this provides drinking water for other animals. During the movement of elephants in areas of tree work on the formation of corridors used by other animals, such as rhinos and Alhamaralouhhi.

The protection of elephants

The number of elephants continuously decreased; where people kill for ivory tusks. As well as people settled in many of the land that had been living with these animals, leading to the disappearance of natural habitats for elephants, and threatened the agricultural and industrial activity of natural resources needed by elephants in her life. He was the growth of the population of Asia at the expense of the number of elephants, where the number fell to less than 40 thousand. The main reason for the decline in the number of elephants in Africa to over-fishing. While the number of African elephants in 1979 about one million three hundred thousand, that number dropped to about 600 thousand elephant with the beginning of the nineties of the twentieth century. If a low number of elephants is on what it has become extinct from the wild these animals with a view of the twenty-century atheist century.
We have been doing a vigorous campaign in the world at the end of the eighties of the twentieth century in order to put people at the level of responsibility and the realization that thousands of elephants were slaughtered each year for ivory ornaments and inscriptions. Japan is a major consumer of ivory to be used in the manufacture of seals of the signature, seal any traditional names for the printing ink. He estimated that each year it kills about 12 thousand in order to get an elephant for ivory, which is required for the manufacture of these seals.
