The African Elephants

Africa is home to many animals including the endangered African Elephants . The African elephant is the largest land mammal on Earth. Sadly these animals are killed illegally for the tusks. Since there tusks are made of ivory they are very valuable. For being such large animals elephants mainly eat roots, grasses, fruits and bark but they consume about 300 pounds of food each day. African Elephants are not domesticated and range around Saharan and the rain forest in central and west Africa. These animals are amazing creatures and should not be harmed.

  1. Oh my gosh, I hate poachers! Killing off extraordinary animals for something as stupid as their coats or their tusks! They need those to survive! If you were in their shoes, would you want to always be anxious, because you might run into a hunter? I bet you wouldn’t want that! Someone should convince them that they should, think about the animal!

  2. You have a good point, even if they wanted to hunt them and they should get a permit to hunt them. Also you should get a farm to breed the elephants. So then you could go and get the ivory. I know that African Elephants have a 22 month pregnancy but if they're endangered your should at least have a group for breeding them I mean its such a easy solution. Also I noticed you didn't add a question get the easy point.
