The Asian elephant is a majestic species known for its intelligence, adaptability, and social structure. Compared to the African elephant, the Asian elephant is slightly smaller and has a rounder, less pronounced back contour. Its ears are smaller and have a round shape. Asian elephants primarily inhabit the tropical forests of South and Southeast Asia, including countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and other regions.

They primarily feed on a variety of plants, including grasses, leaves, fruits, and bark. Asian elephants have a close bond with humans and have been traditionally used in various cultures for work, ceremonies, and religious purposes. Unfortunately, they are heavily endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and conflicts with humans, and protective measures are crucial to ensuring their survival.
