Asian elephants are the largest land mammals on the Asian continent.
They have a highly developed neocortex, making them intelligent and self-aware.
Female Asian elephants live in tight-knit matriarchal groups.
Only some male Asian elephants have tusks; females usually do not.
They can consume up to 150 kg of vegetation daily.
Asian elephants have a gestation period of about 22 months, the longest of any land animal.
