Elephants Word Search
This elephants word search follows the three living species and the life of the herd: Loxodonta and Elephas, the matriarch at the front, the calf at her side, a bull in musth, the mahout and the howdah, and the low rumble that carries for miles.
Africa has two species, the savanna elephant and the smaller forest elephant, both in the genus Loxodonta, while the Asian elephant belongs to Elephas. A herd is a family of related females led by the oldest, the matriarch, who remembers where to find water in a drought. Young males leave in their teens and live alone or in loose groups of other bulls.
An elephant grinds through six sets of molars in its life, each new set moving forward from the back of the jaw as the old one wears down. The tusks are incisor teeth that keep growing. The name Jumbo belonged to a London Zoo elephant that P. T. Barnum bought in 1882, and he was so famous that jumbo came to mean anything huge. The closest living relatives of elephants are the hyrax, a furry animal about the size of a rabbit, and the manatee.
