History

African bush elephants are the largest land mammals and play an essential role in maintaining their ecosystems. These herbivores consume up to 300 pounds of plant matter daily, including grasses, leaves, and fruits. Their grazing habits help create and preserve open landscapes, benefiting many other species in their environment.
