Habitat


Indian Elephants live in or near scrub-forested areas, although their habitat may vary. They tend to be nomadic in nature and do not stay in one place for more than a few days. They can live in jungles but gravitate towards areas that contain open space and grass.

Physical characteristics


The Indian Elephant is up to 6.4 metres (21 feet) long; it is taller and thinner than the Asian elephant found in Thailand. The largest Indian Elephant was 26ft (7.88m) long, stood 11ft, 9in (3.61m) at the arch of the back, and weighed 8 tons (17.920 lbs). [1] Indian elephants look similar to African elephants but they have smaller ears and shorter tusks. They are also the only elephant to be used by humans..
