Sri Lankan Elephants
The Sri Lankan elephant has been a big part of Sri Lanka’s history. Unfortunately, the Sri Lankan elephant has been endangered for a couple years and is becoming more endangered every second.
The Sri Lankan elephant is built to travel through very hot and tropical climates. One helpful body parts are their ears. Their ears are much floppier and smaller than the African elephant. The Sri Lankan elephant also has a curved spine. Male Sri Lankan elephants have long tusks that are made from ivory and sell at high prices. Their leather - like body is mostly dark but with some light flashes everywhere including the trunk. Their normal skin colors are grey, brown, and black. The Sri Lankan elephant is the largest asian elephant subspecies. Their dark skin is thick to protect them from the sun. Sri Lankan elephants about 6,500 pounds to 11,000 pounds. Their tail is dark brown and has hair at the bottom. The Sri Lankan elephant is built up uniquely. Sri Lankan elephant habitats in Sri Lanka are tropical and always full of trees unless cut down. They live in tropical woodlands and tropical rain forests where there are great drinking and bathing sources. The Sri Lankan elephant has unique habitats and uses them for food, shelter, and water. The Sri Lankan elephant is in great danger of becoming extinct. They have lost several of their habitats due to deforestation. Fences have been built and houses in Sri Lanka where the elephants need to go. Also, they are hunted by tigers. The Sri Lankan elephant has valuable tusks that sell for very high prices in the market, especially when carved. The Sri Lankan elephant is coming closer to extinction. This needs to be stopped. The Department of Wildlife Conservation might have a solution. They provide protected areas for Sri Lankan elephants. The Pinnawala Orphanage cares for Sri Lankan elephants and when ready, release them to the wild areas where born. There are several elephant orphanages in Sri Lanka working towards solving this problem.
