Two Species of African Elephants:

The African savanna elephant (or Loxodonta africana).

Which paragraph expresses the writer’s opinion about the number of African elephants? How does the writer feel?

24008073 — 2024-12-19 01:53:11 UTC

The writer expresses their opinion about the number of African elephants in paragraph 5.

The writer explicitly states that the number of elephants is declining, which they express as a sad and concerning situation.

C/3. Given that elephants are herbivorous, what can you infer is NOT part of their diet?

24006770_1 — 2024-12-19 01:55:48 UTC

Elephants are herbivores, therefore we can assume that they don't eat meat or other animal products. Their diet does not include fish, chicken, or other meats because they mostly consume vegetation, such as leaves, roots, and trees.

5. The writer notes that most African elephants have tusks, which they use to dig up food. How would you describe tusks?

2024-12-19 01:59:17 UTC

Tusks are long, curved teeth made of ivory that protrude from an elephant's mouth. They are used for digging, finding food, and defense.

C/4. Elephants live in matriarchal families. What does matriarchal mean?

24006770_1 — 2024-12-19 02:00:03 UTC

"Matriarchal" is a social structure where women, especially mothers or older women, are the main source of authority and control. For elephants, this indicates that a female (the matriarch) is in charge of the family groups. She makes choices and directs the group, particularly when it comes to raising the young.

2.If an animal is herbivorous, what does it eat?

mthunee — 2024-12-19 02:00:09 UTC

If an animal is herbivorous, it eats plants.

6.The writer mentions that savanna elephants live in open spaces in sub-Saharan Africa. From what you might know about the Sahara Desert, why do you think they don’t live in the northern part of Africa?

2024-12-19 02:06:28 UTC

The Sahara Desert is one of the largest and hottest deserts in the world, located in northern Africa. It spans several countries and is known for its extreme heat, dry conditions, and vast dunes. Elephants don't live in the north part of Africa because it is too hot and dry, especially in the Sahara, where there is little food or water. They thrive in the wetter, more resource-rich areas of sub-Saharan Africa.
