Asian elephants are even rarer than giant pandas! What kind of animal is an Asian elephant?

As we all know, the giant panda is a unique animal species in China, and it is also a key protected animal in China, its rarity is naturally self-evident, and there is an animal that is said to be more cherished than the giant panda, that is, the Asian elephant. It is understood that the Asian elephant is the largest land creature in Asia, most of the Asian elephant can reach a length of meters, the height is about 2 meters, and the weight is about 3000 5000 kilograms.

In terms of overall size, the Asian elephant is larger than the African forest elephant, but it is smaller than the African elephant, and the feet of the Asian elephant are very different from the African elephant. Typically, Asian elephants have more nail-like structures, which allows them to use their feet and torso to manipulate anything. Everyone knows that elephant trunks have no bones and joints, and Asian elephants, like all elephant species, have no joints and bones in their trunks, but they have a lot of muscles.

Compared to other species, Asian elephants are very social, and each Asian elephant group consists of about 6 or 7 female Asian elephants and many baby elephants. The leaders of Asian elephant herds are generally older female Asian elephants, and these leaders, who are familiar with everything about their habitat, use their own experience to lead the herd in search of food and water. No matter what animal wants to reproduce, mating is indispensable, and Asian elephants are the longest pregnant of most mammals, which is said to last up to 22 months.

It is precisely because of the very long pregnancy time that many baby Asian elephants born will be one meter tall and weigh about 90 kilograms. Not only that, most male Asian elephants will grow their own tusks when they grow up, and the tusks can not only be regarded as a kind of **, but can also be used to peel bark, etc. It is because of their large size and tusks that Asian elephants are able to help them maintain the safety and ecology of their habitats.

The Asian elephant is the largest existing land animal in Asia, with more than one meter of tusks, very thick limbs, and can weigh 3 5 weeks, about 5 6 meters long, about about one meter tall, has a very high attack power, and is a national first-class protected animal.

The Asian elephant is a very rare species, the ivory of this elephant is very valuable, and now the impact of poaching by hunters to obtain ivory is also very serious, and the impact of these ivory on Asian elephants is very serious, and too much poaching can lead to the extinction of elephants.

The Asian elephant is the strongest animal on the Asian continent, with its tusks over 1 meter long. Elephants have small eyes and large ears that cover the sides of their necks. Strong limbs, 5 toes on the forelimbs and 4 toes on the hind limbs. The tail is short and thin, thick and wrinkled, and has sparse hairs all over the body.

The Asian elephant is a rare animal in the Xishuangbanna Reserve (Yunnan);

The Asian elephant is the largest living land animal in Asia, with tusks more than 1 meter long, which are the incisors of the male elephant's upper jaw protruding from the mouth, and are also a strong defense**. The elephant's eyes are small and the ears are large, and the ears are backward to cover the sides of the neck. The limbs are thick and strong, with 5 toes on the forelimbs and 4 toes on the hind limbs.

The tail is short and thin, the skin is thick and wrinkled, and the whole body is sparsely hairy. The top of the head is the highest point, the body length is 5 6 meters, the height is meters, and the weight reaches 3 5 tons.

Evolve. The earliest known ancestor of the elephant was the Moeriiherium, also known as the Archaeopteryx, which lived in North Africa from the late Eocene to the early Oligocene. Archaeopteryx had 36 teeth, and the second incisor of the upper jaw was more prominent, which may later evolve into the giant tusks of the elephant.

Their nose bones also protrude slightly forward, and they may have had a short trunk at that time.

In the Oligocene, the Archaeopteryx evolved into the Egyptian elephant beast (phiomia). The Egyptian elephant beast evolved into the palaomasiodon. A pair of incisors in the upper jaws of these two elephants have taken the form of ivory, and the nasal bones have begun to protrude to support a pair of primitive tusks.

The total number of teeth has been reduced to 26. But their jaws are still quite prominent.

In the Miocene, steg-odon and gomphotherium evolved from Egyptian elephants. The trunk of the elephant is quite long, with a total number of about 12 teeth. The tusks have been quite prominent, and the jaw is shorter, probably the ancestor of the modern elephant.

Because of the long jaw, chicodonts are considered to be a collateral branch of development.

Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province established the Asian Elephant Conservation Association, State Forestry Administration** Network, August 20 Recently, the Asian Elephant Conservation Association in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province was established. The association has 368 members and is affiliated with the Xishuangbanna Nature Reserve Administration. The Asian Elephant Conservation Association attracts more international organizations, experts, entrepreneurs, civil servants, professional and technical personnel, workers, farmers, students, etc. who love and care about and support the cause of Asian elephant conservation to participate in the Asian elephant conservation action.

The association will carry out extensive science education to raise public awareness of Asian elephant conservation, especially to mobilize residents in Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve and surrounding communities to actively participate in Asian elephant conservation activities; Strengthen exchanges and cooperation with domestic and foreign non-governmental conservation organizations, institutions and scientific research institutes, and jointly research and explore advanced experience and scientific methods for the conservation of Asian elephants. It is understood that the current population of Asian elephants in Xishuangbanna has increased from more than 100 in the 70s to about 250 now. The answer is c

Yes. There are only three species of elephants left on the planet, and only the Asian elephant lives in China, which is rarer than the giant panda. They eat enough hay a day to feed goats for four months, they also use their noses in fights, they have an excellent memory, and they have mental disorders when they see elephants their companions killed.

The Asian elephant is the strongest animal on the Asian continent, with tusks more than 1 meter long. Elephants have small eyes and large ears that cover both sides of their necks. The limbs are stout, with 5 toes on the forelimbs and 4 toes on the hind limbs.

The tail is short and thin, thick and wrinkled, and the whole body is sparsely hairy. The top of the head is the highest point, the body length is 5 6 meters, the height is 3 5 tons, and the weight is 3 5 tons.

There are very few wild elephants, and in some Southeast Asian countries there are many domesticated and working elephants. China's wild elephants are only distributed in the border areas of southern Yunnan with Myanmar and Laos. It is a national first-class protected animal.

Let's pass on the promise together: no ivory, no animal shows, and protect elephants!

The Asian elephant is a first-class key protected wild animal and is the flagship species of the tropical forest ecosystem. It is listed as "endangered" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, mainly in Pu'er, Xishuangbanna and Lincang, Yunnan. It is the largest and most representative terrestrial vertebrate in Asia and is the "engineer" of maintaining the forest ecosystem.

Asian elephants have a longer lifespan, generally 65 to 70 years, and some even say that they can live to 110 to 130 years.

The Asian elephant is the strongest animal on the Asian continent, with tusks more than 1 meter long.

Asian elephants prefer to live in groups, with several or dozens of individuals in each herd, with an adult female elephant as a group, with no fixed residence and a wide range of activities.

Asian elephants are even more precious than giant pandas.

There are only three species of elephants left on the planet, and only the Asian elephant lives in China, which is rarer than the giant panda. They eat enough hay for goats for 4 months a day, they also use their noses in fights, they have excellent memory, and elephants that have seen their companions killed will have mental disorders.

African elephants

There are two genera in the family Elephantidae, namely the Asian Elephant and the African Elephant, of which the Asian Elephant only has the Asian Elephant species, 7 subspecies. However, there are two species of African elephants: African savannah elephants and African forest elephants.

The African elephant in our traditional sense is the African savannah elephant to be precise, while the African forest elephant is a new species that was only discovered in 2010.

African forest elephants live in the rainforests of Central and West Africa, where they are scarce and listed as endangered species as soon as they were discovered. According to genetic analysis, the genes of African forest elephants are closer to the ancestors of African elephants, while African savannah elephants are slightly more distant from their ancestors. In other words, early African elephants were supposed to live in forests.

Introduction to the Giant Panda

The giant panda is a national first-class protected animal. There are more than 1,590 giant pandas in the wild in the world, mainly inhabiting the Sichuan Basin, which is surrounded by mountains. In recent years, the habitat area of the giant panda in Sichuan has expanded by more than 30%, and the number of giant panda nature reserves has reached 35, the living environment of the giant panda has been further optimized, its population has increased steadily, and the giant panda has been effectively protected.

Asian elephants are more precious than giant pandas.

There are only three species of elephants in the world, and only the Asian elephant lives in China, which is rarer than the giant panda. They ate enough hay a day for goats to eat for 4 months, and they had to use their noses in battle. They have an excellent memory and have seen elephants whose companions have been killed and have gone insane.

African elephants

There are two genera of elephants, Asian elephants and African elephants, of which there are only 7 subspecies of Asian elephants. But there are two species of African elephants: the African savannah elephant species and the African forest elephant species.

The African elephant in the traditional sense is precisely the African savannah elephant, while the African forest elephant is a new species discovered in 2010.

African forest elephants live in the rainforests of Central and West Africa and are quite scarce. They were listed as endangered as soon as they were discovered. Genetic analysis shows that the genes of African forest elephants are closer to the ancestors of African elephants, while African savannah elephants are slightly more distant from their ancestors.

In other words, early African elephants were supposed to live in forests.

Introduction to Giant Pandas

The giant panda is a national first-class protected animal. There are more than 1,590 wild giant pandas in the world, mainly inhabiting the Sichuan Basin, which is surrounded by mountains. In recent years, the habitat area of giant pandas in Sichuan has expanded by more than 30%, and the number of giant panda nature reserves has reached 35.

The living environment of giant pandas has been further optimized, the population of giant pandas has increased steadily, and giant pandas have been effectively protected.

The Asian elephant is a rare animal that is listed as endangered worldwide. The number of Asian elephants has been severely reduced, and according to statistics, the number of Asian elephants in the world has been less than 50,000, and the shelter is mainly distributed in the tropical regions of Asia.

In order to protect Asian elephants, many countries have established special protected areas. These protected areas contain habitat and food resources for Asian elephants and limit the range of human activity. In these reserves, human activities for Asian elephants are restricted, thus providing a certain guarantee for the survival of Asian elephants.

Asian elephants live in tropical Asia, and some well-known Asian elephant sanctuaries include Tsui Pakubari Park in Thailand, Kolkta National Park in India, and Bogor Raja National Park in Sri Lanka. These sanctuaries not only maintain the habitat of Asian elephants, but also provide a certain tourist value.

The establishment of the Asian elephant reserve is of great significance to the survival of the Asian elephant, but it is not enough to establish a reserve, and people need to carry out effective protection from many aspects, such as opposing wild animals, strengthening legal investigation and punishment, and controlling land reclamation. Only then can we truly ensure that the habitat of the Asian elephant is not destroyed and that this precious species does not disappear in the future.

Asian elephantsLikes to live in groups, with several or dozens of heads per herd, is led by an adult female as the leader of the herd, has no fixed residence, and has a wide range of activities.

Elephant due to the lack of hair, easy to get sick, so you need to take a bath or do a mud bath often, the elephant skin is thick, there are wrinkles, and some wrinkles are up to more than ten centimeters deep, ** light gray, because the mud bath sometimes looks like the reddish-brown of the earth, brown eyes have long eye hair, there is a rare albino image, and the eyes of high-rent slippery white elephants are generally blue.

Elephants normally walk 3 to 6 kilometers a day to forage for food, but they can run quickly and reach speeds of up to 36 kilometers per hour.

Species distribution of Asian elephants:

The Asian elephant is mainly distributed in 13 countries including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia, covering about 440,000 square kilometers of land in Southeast Asia and South Asia.

In ancient times, they were active from the two river basins in West Asia to the Yellow River basin in China in the east. At present, only the area of Xishuangbanna in Yunnan Province can be found in China.

China distribution: China distribution is the edge of its distribution area, which has been recorded in Xishuangbanna (Mengla, Jinghong) and Jiangcheng in southern Yunnan; Ximeng (Yuesong), Cangyuan (Nanluanhe) in southwestern Yunnan and Yingjiang (Nabangba) in western Yunnan.

Worldwide: India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia.
