Animals that live in groups

Elephants

Elephants win the title of largest land animal. There are currently three subspecies, two from Africa and one from Asia. Females will spend their whole lives living in family groups of up to ten. The group will consist of only female members of the family, and they are lead by the eldest female. When she dies, her eldest daughter will be the new leader. Sometimes groups may band together, for example when to defend their watering holes against other clans.
