Elephants are the largest land animals alive today. Intelligent and social, they are amazing creatures that live all across Africa. New information includes things such as many gallons of water they drink in a day and how many muscles they have in their trunks. It's important to learn all there is to protect these loveable mammals who remain vulnerable to environmental and human threats.

Using her signature combination of clear information and detailed illustrations, Gail Gibbons presents important facts about elephant behavior, habitats, diet, and more. It is a valuable addition to the Explore the World with Gail Gibbons collection, right alongside Gorillas New & Updated.
