Question

Are forests a safer place for elephants

Answer 1

The  elephant is the largest animal walking the Earth. Their herds wander through 37 countries in Africa. They are easily recognized by their trunk that is used for communication and handling objects. And their large ears allow them to radiate excess heat. Upper incisor teeth develop into tusks in  elephants and grow throughout their lifetime. There are two subspecies of  elephants—the Savanna (or bush) elephant and the Forest elephant. Savanna elephants are larger than forest elephants, and their tusks curve outwards. In addition to being smaller, forest elephants are darker and their tusks are straighter and point downward. There are also differences in the size and shape of the skull and skeleton between the two subspecies.

Forest elephants, a distinct subspecies of  elephants, are uniquely adapted to the forest habitat of the Congo Basin, but are in sharp decline due to poaching for the international ivory trade. It is estimated that probably one quarter to one third of the total African elephant population is made up of forest elephants.

Answer 2

In my opinion, I think that forests are a safer place for elephant. because if they r let to live in the cities and villages they may harm and attack us. they usually do this to receive food.but in forests there r many fruits and other things which they consume .and only few peoples like tribes dwell in forests. so theyay know how to face certain attacks. so in my view,I say that forests are the safest place for elephants .
