Elephantidae

Elephants are Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata,Subphylum: Vertebrata,Class: Mammalia,Order: Proboscidea, Superfamily: Elephantoidea, and family is Elephantidae.


Elephants originally live in Asia and Africa, Asian elephants are the only surviving asian elephant genus. African elephants, at up to 4 m (13 ft 1 in) tall and weighing 7500 kg compare top Asian elephants they are little bigger in ears and size.

Predator of elephants are only African tigers since they live near African elephants beside that the number 1 threat to their survivor is African hunter and people since they killed them for their valuable tusk.

A national park was made to perserve the elephants it was called the Kruger National Park in South Africa.during 1960s the Kruger National Park slaughtered 14,562 elephants in the reserve between 1967 and 1994; it stopped in 1995, mostly due to international and local pressure. Officials at the Kruger National Park say that without action, the elephant population there will likely triple to 34,000 by 2020.

elephants have affected many of our culture and life, if you ever see the movie jumbo which was a a Disney classic for children everywhere about a elephant. Some elephants are used in war and battle in the past which was feared in most lands since war elephant are the biggest threat back then.


Beside all that elephants are smart and intellectual creature they can feel pain,love, and etc emotion as human so to me we shouldn't kill them or put them in cage since they can feel like our pets dog and cats. So i hope you enjoy my blogger of elephants.

LOUISE MEAD

During january 24,2008

A guest speaker Luise Mead of the national center of science education came and talk about evolution and that the theory for evolution is a fact and not just a theory. she told us that not many public school beside mills high accually encourage the teaching of evolution since alot of poeple are religous and belive evolution is just a theory. Thus accepting fact of evolution mean religon doesnt exist since religion has no evidence of it own. She gaves us fossil of evolution which is evidence to theory of evolution. she talk about salamanders and how they have a distinct way of mating.

when i heard her speak i got an elightenment which open my eyes to science instead of religion ,which the line of fact and fiction collide. she taught me more of how i understand the world and how it evolve over time which make sence of mostly everything of what religion is lacking. since mostly i question myself why this why that could go on forever but now evolution gave me a valouble answer to one of my biggest question ever where we came from.
