Elephants communicate with each other even when they have burst to grazing on an extensive territory (up to 10 km). They keep in touch with infrasounds. Elephants issue a characteristic roar when they are close to each other.

The mother nurses him for 2-3 years. It sucks with its mouth.
The only predators that could kill the elephant are lions and hyenas. Of them, the mother elephant, keeps it vigorously. When the little one is in trouble, all the female elephants in the herd are ready to help. Mother Elephant, extremely caring, loving, she never misses little of her sight. The whole herd moves with the speed of movement of the young.
The elephant has a good appetite. Every day he needs 150 to 400 kg of plant food. It absorbs daily and dozens of liters of water.
