African elephant predators

Elephant are categorized in two species named as African and Asian elephant. These mammals have the greatest size on this vast ground. Due to their huge size, none wild animals want to attack on these, or we can say there is no elephant predator. But for the elephant baby, there is little bit need of caring against the attack of crocodile, leopard and lion. For the protection purpose these mammals are safe in park and zoo.

I am feeling very sorry to say that human also pay a very important role in hunting of elephant. Tusks and skin of elephant is in demand so people kill them for a little benefit. From 19th century the percentage of hunting is increasing with the fast rate. After some estimation, scientists have told if any protective action will not be taken under time then this species of elephant could be vanished.

As we know, this species of elephant are going to vanish from root so we have to protect them from other predators by taking proper action against predators of elephant.
