Hello steemit friends how are you all i want to share a little about the Elephant.
in our area there is an elephant treatment called Conservacition Response Unit (CRU) located in Sampoiniet village, Aceh Jaya.
The elephant is a large mammal of the familia Elephantidae and the Proboscidea order.
Elephants are herbivorous animals that can be found in a variety of habitats, such as savannas, forests, deserts, and swamps. They tend to be near the water. Elephants are considered a key species because of their impact on the environment. Other animals tend to keep their distance from elephants, and predators like lions, tigers. hyenas, and stray dogs usually only attack young elephants. Female elephants tend to live in family groups.
Asian elephants are classified as endangered species. One of the main threats to elephants is the ivory trade that triggers poaching. Another threat is the destruction of habitat and conflict with local people. Elephants are used as working animals in Asia. They used to be used for war; now, elephants are often shown in zoos and circuses. Elephants can be easily recognized and have been depicted in art, folklore, religion, literature, and popular culture.
