The introduction to African elephants, the largest living land animals, includes information about their habitat, diet, social and family groupings, and unique physical characteristics. A page of "Elephant Tracks" gives interesting trivia (e.g., "Elephants can swim for hours and go several miles"). Cheerfully busy illustrations effectively support the straightforward text.
