Elephants are
large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea.
Traditionally, two species are recognised, the African elephant and the Asian elephant. Elephants are
herbivorous and can be found in different habitats including savannahs,
forests, deserts and marshes. They prefer to stay near water. They are
considered to be keystone species due to their impact on their environments. Source

evidence suggests that African bush elephants and African forest elephants are
separate species. Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South
Asia, and Southeast Asia. Source

Male African elephants are the largest surviving terrestrial animals and can
reach a height of 4 m and weigh
7,000 kg. All elephants have several distinctive features the most notable
of which is a long trunk or proboscis, used for many purposes, particularly
breathing, lifting water and grasping objects. Their incisors grow into tusks,
which can serve as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging.
Elephants' large ear flaps help to control their body temperature. Their pillar-like
legs can carry their great weight. African elephants have larger ears and
concave backs while Asian elephants have smaller ears and convex or level
backs. Source

"Baby Elephant Walk"
is a piece of music written in 1961 by composer Henry Mancini, for the 1962
release of the movie Hatari. The
composer combines brass instruments and woodwind
elements to convey the sense of a toddler that is large and plodding, but
nonetheless filled with the exuberance of youth. The catchy, jazzy simplicity
of the tune has made it one of Mancini's most popular works, prompting its
appearance on nearly twenty later compilation and best of/greatest hits albums.
As the allmusic.com album review states, "if Hatari! is memorable for anything, it's for the incredibly goofy
'Baby Elephant Walk,' which has gone on to be musical shorthand for kookiness
of any stripe. Get this tune in your head and it sticks." Hal David composed lyrics to Mancini's tune, which
appear in the printed sheet music but were never used. In 1962, the song earned
Mancini a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement. The tune was written
for an impromptu scene in Hatari!
in which Elsa Martinelli led three baby elephants to a pool to bathe. Source
