The elephant is a wonderful animal and interesting especially for the animal lovers. Their size does not bespeak of their tame manners unlike the impression that we get from other big animals like the rhinocerus or the lion. So tame is the elephant that there are countries taking care of them like pets or farm help similar to the water buffalo.
The elephant is herbivorous which means it only eats vegetables particularly grass and other reed like the tall grasses. Sugar can stalks can also be given. In Thailand, elephants is a source of income for the tourist areas. Just like the horseback riding in some ranch, the elephant ride is fun for tourists even if it is very expensive. The elephant ride is an industry that employs so many people.
