elephant habitat

Where pachyderms dwell

The places where elephants naturally live and roam.

African elephants inhabit savannas, forests, and grasslands; Asian elephants favor tropical forests and scrublands.

Elephant habitats require vast ranges with adequate water, vegetation, and migration corridors: Poaching and development have fragmented elephant habitat across the continent.
