Elephant at Serengeti National Park
Elephants are largest land mammal. Male elephants weigh almost twice as such as female and have more forehead and heavier and longer tusks females have a pointed forehead.
Elephants spend 16hrs a day feeding, interspersed with visits to suitable mud wallows, after which they often shower themselves with dust and rub against trees or boulders , all of which helps to remove ticks and keep their skin in good condition.
All elephants secrete a thick, strong-smelling substance called temporin from temporal glands.
