Elephant Cows: Heads of the Herd

by Maivboon Sang

Overview

A lion sneaks slowly toward a herd of elephants. The herd’s female leader sees the big cat. Her loud trumpet sound rings out. She charges the lion and it runs away. Females are the leaders of an elephant herd. They protect the herd, lead it to food sources, and care for young. Take a look at elephants and the important roles cows play to ensure the herd’s survival.
