Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on the history of elephant species and how their behaviors relate to their history and evolution. The author begins by introducing the reader to the physical characteristics which classify elephants as the largest land animals on earth. They then examine the fossil record, and describe the habitat and habits of the species known as the mammoth. From there, the author examines the migratory patterns of the elephant, focusing on their tendency to remain in densely forested and mountainous regions, and their preference for regions with abundant supplies of both food and water. The author explores the impact of various cultures on the treatment of elephants, with special attention to the domestication of elephants by humans for use as working animals. Finally, the author concludes by describing the role of elephants in the culture and history of human society, particularly their role in religion, symbolism and war.
