Q. Consider the following statements about African and Asian elephants:

1. African elephants are generally heavier and taller than Asian elephants
2. African elephants have more wrinkled skin compared to Asian elephants
3. In African elephants, females also usually possess tusks, unlike Asian females

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer: 1, 2 and 3
Notes: All three statements are correct. African elephants are indeed the largest land mammals, out-sizing Asian elephants. Their skin is more wrinkled, aiding in thermoregulation. Unlike Asian elephants, where only some males have tusks, both male and female African elephants can have tusks, though female tusks are generally smaller.
