Mysore Zoo - Asian Elephnats

Mysore Zoo is the most popular zoo at Mysore in India. There are various wild animals and birds at the zoo. One among them is Asian elephants.


 They grow to a height of 3.1 m and weigh around 2500 to 5000 kg. They have a lifespan of 70 years. They use their ivory tusks for digging, uprooting trees and displaying. They are herbivore that eats all types of vegetation such as grasses, leaves, fruits and bark.


The dominant elephant in the herd is a female. She is often the oldest, largest or most experienced elephant in the herd of related females and their young.

    Lovely photos of these magnificent animals. It pains to know that they are being killed off for their tusks.

    And like most of us animals, the female dominates! Even when they pretend to let us think we're the king! :)
