Description: The African Elephant, scientifically known as Loxodonta africana, is one of the most majestic animals in the world. Here we see an impressive elephant mother and her calf, gently roaming through the dry bush of the Kapama Game Reserve in South Africa, in search of food. An adult elephant can consume up to 200 kg of plant matter per day, including leaves, branches, roots, and fruits. Elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth and play a crucial role in the ecosystem. Learn more about the two subspecies of the African Elephant, their behavior, and the threats they face.
