The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal on the Asian continent. They inhabit dry to wet forest and grassland habitats in 13 range countries spanning South and Southeast Asia. While they have preferred forage plants, Asian elephants have adapted to surviving on resources that vary based on the area.
Where are Asian elephants found in the world?
More than half of all wild Asian elephants are found in India, with around 10,000 in the north-east of the country. Some move across the border between India and Nepal. There may be fewer than 100 wild elephants in Vietnam, perhaps 250 in Cambodia, and under 250 left in China.
What country has the most Asian elephants?
More than 50% are in India, where their range is largest. Populations live in just a few pockets of land in Sri Lanka. In Sumatra, elephants have lost 70% of their native habitat. Asian elephants live in tight-knit groups of about six or seven related females that work together to raise their young.
