• Elephants live in herds: Elephants are social animals that live in groups, called herds. A herd can be one female adult and her young, but is more often several related females, such as grandmothers, sisters, aunts, and cousins.
• Elephants work together: The size of the herd varies, with about 10-40 elephants in a herd. Elephants work together as a team to help each other find food and care for the young. Older sisters and cousins often baby-sit the new baby elephants.
• The matriarch is the leader: The leader of the herd, often the oldest in the group, is called the matriarch. She teaches her daughters and the younger females where to find food and water. When a matriarch dies, the next oldest female usually takes her place.
