    The African elephant and the Asian elephant are the only two surviving species of what was in prehistoric times a diverse and populous group of large mammals.

    The elephant is the largest of all land mammals
    Life Span - elephants can live for up to 70 years
    Elephants normally walk about 4 mph
    Elephants are able to swim for long distances
    Elephants spend about 16 hours a day eating
    They consume as much as 495 pounds of food per day
    They live in tight social units led by an older matriarch
    Males leave the herd between the ages of 12 and 15
    Their tusks are of ivory and are actually enormously enlarged incisors
    The elephant's eyes are small and its eyesight is poor
    They have the largest brains in the animal kingdom

    Symbolic elephant meaning deals primarily with strength, honor, stability and patience, among other attributes.

    To the Hindu way of thought, the elephant is found in the form of Ganesha who is the god of luck, fortune, protection and is a blessing upon all new projects. Ganesha in all his magnificently vibrant elephant glory, is intent on bulldozing obstacles on your behalf (funnily, male elephants are termed "bulls").

    In many western cultures, the elephant meaning pertains to:

    Reliability
    Dignity
    Power
    Royalty
    Pride
    In Christian symbolism the elephant is an icon of temperance, patience, and chastity.

    As a Chinese symbol, the elephant is considered a symbol of:

    happiness
    longevity
    good luck
    Some Asian cultures also believe the elephant is a cosmic creature, and carries the world upon it?s back (much like the tortoise does in some tribal Native American myths).

    As a dream animal, elephants come into our dreams it is a message that we are able to deal with any obstacle we are faced with at this time. Dream elephants represent power, sovereignty, stability, and stead-fastness. If you dream that you are riding an elephant this suggests you have a tendancy to be the leader of the family, and others are heavily depending on you. If you dream of elephants in a circus this suggests you have a cavalier attitude about a situation in your life and you may want to invest more attention to it.

    We gather more symbolic meaning of elephant by observing it in nature. Specifically, the elephant is considered a symbol of responsibility because it takes great care and responsibility of its offspring as well as their elders.

    The elephant also has immense determination and loyalty - always standing up for others and always defending members of the group in its natural habitat.

    Elephants also express advanced sensitivity and social connection, particularly during time of death - they travel to a specific place upon their death - fulfilling personal responsibility - even at the end of their days.

    Elephants are treated really shitty.

    I rode one in Thailand and the guy let me drive it. I protected him from horseflies. He was a gentleman.
