Elephant

Their groups, or clans, are made up of mothers with their young offspring and grown daughters. Elephants can give birth anytime during the year, even during the dry season. African elephants have larger ears than Indian elephants. They use their large ears to fan themselves and to drive away flies. Both male and female elephants have large tusks. They use their tusks to dig for water during the dry season.
