3.5.4 Asian elephant Nature of the animal 49 CENTRAL ZOO AUTHORITY The Asian elephant is a predominantly gregarious forest animal whose social organization is based on a family unit commanded by old female. A herd may consist of between 5 to 20 or more individuals. Elephants are entirely herbivores in their dietary habit; feed on a variety of grasses, leaves, fruits and bark. Herd is believed to be composed of single families. Elephants sleep during the hot hours of the day, being intolerant of the sun, feed early in the morning and evening, and come out after nightfall to feed in open forest. The trunk is capable of grasping objects in different directions like our hands. Barrier Suggestions i) The suggested top width of dry moat is 3.5m and depth of 2.5m. A low rubble wall on sides other than viewers’ side can be provided. ii) Other barrier options are B.G. rail barrier of 1.2m height quite away from viewers, so that the trunk can not reach. iii) Rubble walls of 1.5m height of 0.75m wide can also keep the elephants confined.
