Elephants recognise their own reflection. They are among the very few
animals able to do this.
Elephant bulls are considerably bigger than elephant cows. Reaching heights
of almost four metres, they are the second largest land animals after giraffes.
They also weigh five to six tonnes, which makes them the heaviest of all land
animals. African elephant bulls usually leave their herd when they are about
twelve years old. By then they are grown-up enough to find their own food and
defend themselves, so they move through the country with other bulls or as a
loner – in search of another herd.

first released in the 1950s with the development, production and marketing of
comic figurines such as Snoopy and The Smurfs. In the early 1980s they added
animal figurines and Muppet characters to their range of products.
