[post_page_title]The Indian elephant[/post_page_title]
The Indian elephant is a subspecies of the Asian elephant. These elephants are smaller than African elephants but still weigh between 4,400 and 11,000 pounds!
The species lives in the mainland of Asia but has unfortunately become extinct in Pakistan. The species is facing habitat loss due to an expanding population in their homelands. This is why compounds like the one in the Prague Zoo are so important to keeping the species alive.
