Elephants in kenya.

#‎kexs‬ 
Kenya has for long been regard as the "Home of African Wildlife Safari". National parks and reserves are among the best in Africa. 
Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea.two species are recognized, the African elephant and the Asian elephant.
The elephant's large ear flaps help to control the temperature of its body. African elephants have larger ears and concave backs while Asian elephants have smaller ears and convex or level backs.
Elephants can live up to 70 years in the wild. They communicate by touch, sight, and sound; elephants use infra-sound, and seismic communication over long distances. 
Elephant intelligence has been compared with that of primates and cetaceans. 
They appear to have self-awareness and show empathy for dying or dead individuals of their kind.
