Forests are destructed to be converted the to agricultural land. African elephants are menaced by the ivory hunters and poachers. The earth's changing athmosphere create also survival problems for the elephants. In the past there were many species of elephants, some bigger than the elephants still alive today.

A big number of eggs are deposited in holes dug into mud or sand, covered and left to incubate by themselves. When the little turtles hatch, they find their way to the surface and go the water. There are no known species in which the mother cares for the young. Turtles don’t die of old age. If turtles didn’t get eaten, suffer from accidents or die from a disease, they might just live indefinitely. Researchers have ...
