The India elephant is one of the three recognised sub-species of the Asian elephant and native to Asia. In the past 60-75 years, the population of elephant has declined by 50% which is due to the loss of habitat and poaching.
The Asian elephant are smaller than African elephants. Indian elephants have smaller ears but relatively broader skulls and larger trunks than African elephants. The toes larger and broad. Quite unlike their African cousins their abdomen is proportionate with the weight of the body. The African elephant has a large abdomen as compared to the skull.
Indian elephants are found in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Thailand and many other Asian countries. They live in grasslands and forests. They consume 150 kgs of plant matter every day which ara tall grasses, various species of plant and trees.
Illegal killing of elephant, flourishing ivory trade and their shrinking habitat pose a great threat to their existence.
