Intimidating Elephants

by Mary Molly Shea

Overview

Elephants are the largest land animals and a favorite at the zoo. They’re so loved it’s hard to imagine the gentle creatures can be very dangerous at times. In fact, they’re responsible for killing over a hundred people each year in India. This riveting book explains why such tragedies occur. As readers learn the answer, they’ll discover more about elephant trunks, tusks, behaviors, and habitats and how some of these put the mammal at risk. Beautiful photographs enhance the ideas presented in this notable volume, which supports the science curriculum.
