One of the largest beasts of the animal kingdom, an African elephant has a thick trunk, big legs, long tusks, and giant ears!
High Risk
The African elephant is an endangered animal. It has a very high chance of becoming extinct in the next 20 years.
FUN FACT
The elephant is known for its great memory—but why? One reason is the elephant has an enormous brain! Weighing in at around 12 pounds, it’s the largest and heaviest mammal brain. (The human brain weighs only about 3 pounds.)
