You may have seen elephants at your local zoo, but did you know that the African elephant is the largest living land animal on Earth? Their adaptations and the way they live in social groups help them survive in the grasslands, savannas, and forests of Africa. Their cousins, the Asian elephant, are smaller, but they have been important to humans in South Asia for centuries! The number of African elephants is declining rapidly! And you can help! Come join Olive and her family as they learn about elephants, the scientists in Africa who study them, and what can be done to protect these special animals. Come find out more about bee conservation and the ways scientists are studying them! Authors - Tom J. McConnell, Alyssa Bloom and Jessica Bockover Illustrations by Emma Fulkerson, Jacob Agnew and Jalah Bynm Art Director - Barbara Giorgio-Booher Graphic Designer - Alicia Braun Content Consultants - Charles Foley; the Indianapolis Zoo; the Cincinnati Zoo |
