Elephants are one of the kindest and most emotional animals in the world. There are two species of elephants and they are African elephants and Asian elephants. The easiest way to differentiate African and Asian elephants is to observe their ears. The ears of Asian elephants are small and round, on the other hand, the ears of African elephants look like the map of Africa. The leader of herds of elephants is called the matriarch who is also known as the oldest female of the herd because she knows more than the rest of the herd. Elephants flap their ears to stay cool. They are also known as keystone species because they play a critical role in the ecosystem.
