African+Elephant-Nick+V.

I picked the African elephant as my animal. The African Elephant lives in Congo Basin and Coastal East Africa. It's habitats are Grasslands and Forest. Elephants are herbivores which means they only eat plants. Lions sometimes try to feed of of young elephants. Female Elephants become reproductive at about 10 - 12 years of age, and the process usually takes 22 months. Elephants are mammal's so they don't lay eggs. Elephants are endangered animals. In the 1939's and 1940's, there were 4 million elephants roaming the earth, mostly in Kenya. Now, there are less than 700,000 African Elephants. The IUCN stands for International Union of the Conservation of Nature. The IUCN listed the African Elephants as Endangered Species on the "Red List". To reduce the illegal killing of elephants through improved protection and management, WWF equips and trains law enforcement teams so they can conduct regular and effective anti poaching patrols. A good idea to raise money for the adoption of an African Elephant is a bake sale. Cookies, cake, and cupcakes are all thing that my family can make. I can call friends and family to see if they wouldn't mind donating $5. The total I would need would be $100. A lot of people have started to adopt African Elephants and the WWF website along with proof that you adopted an elephant.
