■About Indian elephants
Indian elephants live throughout Southeast Asia, including Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Laos, Peninsular Malaysia, Burma, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Indian elephants have larger heads, shorter necks, and smaller ears than African elephants. The legs are short but strong, supporting the entire weight like a pillar. They also have a more curved spine than African elephants and small spots with depigmented skin.
They feed on grass as their staple food, but they also eat large amounts of bark, roots, leaves, and thin stems. They also like agricultural crops such as bananas, rice, and sugar cane.
