An elephant?!


Whoa! Let's stop in Africa to get some knowledge about elephants!

Elephants are the greatest mammals on land, but, there is a mammal that is bigger than the elephant itself! The majestic blue whale (We're going to talk about that in other posts).

Elephants, can eat as much as 32 kilograms of leaves and grass a day! Hey, you know what? An elephant, can eat more food in one week than a couple of people in a year! Pretty sweet, don't you think?

Elephants live in Africa. The elephants scientific name is Loxodonta Africana (Savanna elephant, largest elephant specie).

As most people know, elephant hunters hunt elephants for their ivory tusks. Then the hunters go to the company they're working in and say: "Here are the ivory tusks you asked for!" Well, the company man replies: "Well, you've brought me what we need so here is the money for them".

Then, how CAN you stop them!? The ones beginning to hunt elephants think: "Good job, if I kill more elephants for their tusks I'll get more money!" Then it just goes on and the hunters end up killing more elephants! Once there was a extremely large number of them, thirty years ago there was 3 million of elephants, but now there is barely about half a million!


Well, we can all see the changes in nature and no one is able to say: "Lets finish with killing elephants!" because then the others will say: "No, we want ivory figures to sell! They are very nice!"

Go on and pass the knowledge to your other members of the family! Goodbye!
