Asian Elephant in Jim Corbett National Park
Elephants are largest of land mammals, has been an integral part of history, mythology, tradition, culture and religion of INDIA. There are three surviving species of elephants in world, ONE in ASIA and TWO in AFRICA. Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) are distributed in Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Unlike African species, Asian elephants have been domesticated for thousands of years and have been used in medieval warfare, for temples, for wildlife safaris and as working animal.
Asian elephant were once found throughout south and southeast Asia but now they has been reduced to scattered populations because of human activities like conversion of forest areas to farming, developmental works like construction of dams and other civil works like roads and canals. Apart from habitat constriction, these wide-ranging animals also face obstruction of their traditional migration routes. Poaching of elephants for IVORY is another serious problem that elephants face.
Elephants are notable for their remarkable intelligence and sharp memory. This is because elephants have largest brain in animal kingdom. Males have tusks and such elephants are commonly called “TUSKERS”. There are also some tuskless males, called “MAKHNAS”. The TRUNK of an elephant is most distinct and versatile organ and can be used for feeding and drinking, breathing, trumpeting, herding the young ones and sometimes even for fighting.
