Elephant grass is a robust, rhizomatous, tufted perennial grass. It has a vigourous root system, developing from the nodes of its creeping stolons. The culms are coarse, perennial, and may be up to 4-7 m in height, branched above. Elephant grass forms dense thick clumps, up to 1 m across.
Elephantidae is the only surviving family of the order Proboscidea; other, now extinct, members of the order include deinotheres, gomphotheres, mammoths, and mastodons. Male African elephants are the largest extant terrestrial animals and can reach a height of 4 m (13 ft) and weigh 7,000 kg (15,000 lb).he word elephant is based on the Latin elephas (genitive elephantis) (elephant), which is the Latinised form of the Greek á¼Î»Î­ÏÎ±Ï (elephas) (genitive á¼Î»Î­ÏÎ±Î½ÏÎ¿Ï (elephantos)), probably from a non-Indo-European language, likely Phoenician.
