The Elephant is the largest land animal on the planet. They can be up to 13 feet tall and 11,000 pounds. What most people don't know about elephants is that there isn't just two species. People think that there are only two species, the African and the Asian.There are a lot more than that.They are the most recognized though. The elephant can eat up to half it's body weight in one day. They also drink a lot too. The African Elephant lives on the Savannah where water is scarce, so they travel great distances to get water. The Asian elephant lives in just about all parts of Asia, and they don't have to worry about water. They worry about the Tiger, the world's largest cat. Both of them are led by Matriarchs, the oldest females, who have the responsibility look after the whole herd.(The African is on the right, and the Asian is on the left.)

Interesting! I never paid attention to the species of the elephants we've seen. It may be harder to see the difference between the African elephant and the Asian elephant in your picture because they look so similar. But once you really look at them, you can see the difference.
I think you'll want to place a twitter icon to your website. I just marked down this article, however I must do it by hand. Just my suggestion.
