About Ants
Ants are insects of the family Formicidae and belong to the order Hymenoptera. They are thought to have evolved from wasp-like creatures sometime between 110 to 130 million years ago and then evolved after the rise of flowering plants. There are an estimated 22,000 different species, out of which only about 12,500 have actually been classified.
About Elephant
Elephants are the largest land animal on Earth, with the average elephant weighing in at 4 or 5 tons, and standing over 10 feet high! There are three species of elephant; the Asian Elephant, the African bush elephant and the African forest elephant. The typical elephant can live up to 70 years, and eats 300-400 pounds of food a day. Elephants spend more time in the womb than any other animal, 22 months. When a baby elephant is born it can weigh up to 260 pounds!
