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
