Elephants are the largest living land-dwelling social mammals in the world. They usually move in families. Elephants have very thick skin, but the skin between the folds is very thin, so they often use mud bath to prevent mosquito bites. Elephant's teeth are an important weapon to defend itself against injury.
Their ancestors appeared on Earth tens of millions of years ago. Their family was once one of the most dominant animal groups on earth, and more than 400 fossils have been found. However, due to historical climate and human factors, the species of elephant population is becoming less and less. Now the only elephant species left on Earth are Asian elephants, African grassland elephants and African forest elephants, which are seriously threatened by the natural environment and human survival.
