African Elephants are the world's largest animal. Their trunk makes them easily recognizable and is used to handle objects and communicate. Their large ears allow them to dissipate excessive heat. The elephant's upper incisor teeth develop into tusks that grow throughout their lifetime. 

Elephants live in a matriarchal herd which is a highly organized social structure. The female African Elephants in the herd are directly related to the oldest and largest female, called the matriarch. Males beyond the age of maturity are with the herd only during mating. 

Elephants have essential bonds with other elephants. Their social network makes them amiable creatures, and an older matriarch often leads herds with mothers and other female relatives working together. Around 14 years old, the African Elephant males usually leave their herds roaming with other males to search for mating partners. 

Because Elephants are known for their immense strength and size, they symbolize power and strength. They are brilliant animals with excellent memory and symbolize wisdom and intelligence.

Elephants have a long lifespan and great endurance, symbolizing longevity and perseverance. They are social animals living in close-knit family groups, and are symbols of concepts of family, community, and social bonds. Elephants also symbolize good luck and fortune, particularly in cultures where they are associated with the trunk raised upwards, which is believed to bring good luck and prosperity.
