9 amazing facts about Elephants you didn’t know (See photos inside)
Elephants are by far the known largest existing land animals anyone can ever think of.
They are mammals who come from the family of Elephantidae.
Elephants are such intelligent animals most of them do their things as if they are human beings.
The African continent is known to house more elephants than South & Southeast Asia. Comparatively, African Elephants are larger in terms of size than that of Asia.
It is just unfortunate that some brainless thugs & crooks on the African continent would treat such intelligent animals badly by poaching and k!lling them, and taking away their ivory tusks for export to Asia for money.

Elephant saves the life of cub of a Lioness – A lioness and her cub were crossing the Savannah but the heat was excessive and the puppy was in great difficulty walking.
