Walking in a Single File...!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐘" title="Elephant" aria-label="Emoji: Elephant">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐘" title="Elephant" aria-label="Emoji: Elephant">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐘" title="Elephant" aria-label="Emoji: Elephant">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🐘" title="Elephant" aria-label="Emoji: Elephant">

Elephants walk in a single file when they are on the move in search of food and water. The calves will sometimes hold on to their mother’s tails with their trunks to keep up with the herd.

March of the Herd!!

An Elephant herd constitutes as many as 50 members or even more.

In a family an older, experienced lady elephant leads the herd. A family usually consist of a mother, her sisters, daughters & calves .Occasionally, non-related elephants join to form families.
Males Hang Out !!

Adult Male Elephant lives a predominantly nomadic & solitary life. He breaks away with the family at the age of 12-15 to either roam alone or find a loosely knit group of male elephants to join.

DYK - The Adult Male Elephant is called a & #39;BULL& #39;.
They DON& #39;T FORGET..https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧠" title="Brain" aria-label="Emoji: Brain">

In the wild, herds of elephants tend to follow SIMILAR PATHS https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛣️" title="Motorway" aria-label="Emoji: Motorway"> over the years.

Often Elephants have been seen treading on human dominated landscape because their paths have been devastated by building infrastructure.
Amazing SENSORY POWERS...!!!

Elephants know every member of their herd and are able to recognize up to 30 companions by sight or smell.
