Indian Elephants

Indian Elephants are listed as, endangered They are a cultural icon, in India and throughout Asia traveling migratory routes, while eating grasses, bark, leaves and roots to maintain the integrity of their habitat, that gives them prosperity Indian Elephants, spend up to 19 hours feeding a day with a production of about, 220 pounds of dun per day traveling 125 square miles, spreading seeds that germinate as this is what Mother Nature needs, is for them to migrate Humans greed their land, because of increasing populations and it forces elephants, to seek alternative food solutions It splits their groups, so they can’t herd with other troops on their ancient home, because humans have built a dome There are protected areas, that have illegal encroachments as they clear forests, for roads and human developments Poaching doesn’t help, as tusks only grow on male elephants and the middle-class fuel the demand, for the black-market
