The Asian elephant is distributed throughout the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Elephants communicate in low-frequency sounds that the human ear does not hear. The feet of the elephants are flat. The layer of gelatinous mass is located under the skin of the sole. It helps to silently walk and overcome marshy areas without getting bogged down in them. Elephants lead a nomadic lifestyle. Elephants eat and drink, bathes, communicates with relatives with the help of an elephant's trunk. The trunk of an elephant weighs about 140 kilograms. The elephant's trunk allows them to lift small things such as a button or pin from the ground. The flexibility of the elephant's trunk is due to the fact that it consists of 40,000 muscles. The skin thickness of elephants can reach four centimeters. Elephants have a big heart. It weighs about 30 kg and beats at a frequency of 30 times per minute. Elephants sleep little more than 4 hours a day. Elephants can memorize melodies of three notes. In a day they can eat up to 136 kilograms of food, having washed down all this with 100-300 liters of water. Elephants love to cuddle and greet their elephant's trunks when they meet each other.
The safari and zoo in Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv is the largest zoological center in the Middle East. Scientific research is carried out at the zoo, and there is a veterinary clinic. The territory of the zoo is beautifully designed and conveniently equipped. My biggest tip before visiting the zoo: Don't be lazy to walk.
