History

African bush elephants are known for their intelligence and complex social structures. They live in matriarchal groups led by an experienced female, with herds comprising related females and their young. Male elephants typically live alone or in small bachelor groups. Communication among elephants is key, with low-frequency rumbles traveling long distances to keep herd members connected.
