Presentation transcript:

The African savanna is a rolling grassland scattered with shrubs and isolated trees. Located near the equator where the rainfall is seasonal and temperatures are warm. African elephants live on the African savanna

Asian forests have a tropical moist climate and receive high overall rainfall with a warmer summer wet season and a cooler winter dry season. The average temperature per year is 80°. Asian elephants live in the Asian forest

The tundra grasslands have cold temperatures, sparse trees, and high winds. Temperatures reach -20° to -30 in winter and may only get as high as 50° F in summer. Mammoths lived on the tundra grasslands

Elephant habitats supply food and water. Elephants drink gallons of water a day so they depend on available water sources in their habitat. Elephant habitats must supply 300 pounds plus of vegetation daily per elephant. Elephant molars are efficient grinders. The four large molars are replaced from back to front (horizontally) up to six times in an elephants life. They are called marching molars.

After digesting almost 300 pounds of food daily… Elephants can leave behind almost 300 pounds of dung every day! Elephants are inefficient at digesting food and leave behind many nutrients in their dung. Elephant dung benefits the ecosystem by: animals feed on it to supplement their diet. dung beetles survive solely on dung! dung also serves as a great fertilizer for many plants in the ecosystem. some plants, with tough shells, need to pass through an elephant in order germinate
