Passage 1
Elephants
Elephants are very powerful and graceful animals. The most common types of elephants are the Indian or Asian Elephant and the African Elephant. You can tell the difference between these elephants by looking at their ears. Indian elephants have very small ears. They are placed low and close to their head. African elephants have large ears which reaches over their shoulders. The tusks of the African elephants are much larger than those of the Indian elephants. However, among the Indian elephants, it is only the male elephant that has tusks. In case of the African elephants, both male and female have tusks.
