Asian elephants are much smaller than the African elephants, only growing to a couple meters tall. They are found in the tropical jungles of Asia.
Asian elephants have been domesticated for hundreds of years for foresting and battles. There are many places across Asia where Asian elephants are kept for tourists to ride them, and they are treated poorly.
Today, the Asian elephant is considered an endangered species with only 50,000 left in the wild. This is due the loss of habitat of the Asian elephant and illegal poachers hunting the elephant, for their skins and ivory.
