Elefantes

The video discusses the two main species of elephants: African and Asian. African elephants are the largest land mammals, while Asian elephants are smaller and found in South Asia. Elephants live in herds led by a matriarch, with adult males roaming alone. Their trunks serve multiple purposes, and tusks are used for defense and mating. Elephants have large ears for cooling and can detect vibrations through their feet. They face threats from poaching and habitat loss, but conservation efforts are underway to protect them.
