Asian Elephant

Did You Know?

Unlike African elephants, where both males and females usually have tusks, among Asian elephants, only some males have large tusks. Females (and some males) have small, "tusk-like" teeth called tushes, which are usually not visible outside the mouth. Another easy way to tell them apart is by their ears: Asian elephants have smaller, rounded ears, while African elephants have ears shaped like the continent of Africa!
