Core Elephant Needs. Like most animals, elephants require food, water, shelter and veterinary care, but elephants have other core needs that are sometimes overlooked, ignored or dismissed. Space. In the wild, elephants inhabit very large home ranges and walk considerable distances every day. Their home ranges can be from several hundred sq km up to 5,000 sq km or more in size. For most people, this huge space is difficult to imagine.
They are the worldâs largest terrestrial mammal. There are two recognized subspecies of elephants: the savanna (bush) elephant and the forest elephant. Savanna elephants are larger than forest elephants and their tusks curve out, while forest elephants are darker and have tusks that are straighter and point downward.n elephantâs trunk is a long nose that is used for breathing, smelling, drinking, trumpeting, and grabbing objects. African elephants have two fingerlike extensions on the tips of their trunks that are used for holding onto small objects.
