Some of the worldβs most awe-inspiring animals are massive land mammals. Elephants, the largest land animals, use their trunks for everything from drinking to communication. Rhinos, with their thick armor-like skin, have been around since prehistoric times. Hippos may look slow, but they are powerful swimmers and highly territorial.
These gigantic creatures shape their environments, knocking down trees, creating watering holes, and maintaining ecosystems. Sadly, many face threats from habitat loss and poaching, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
