Nature 9 - Elephant So Adorable Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

The poem very beautifully gives an account of the main characteristics of elephants. They are known for their enormous size, physical strength, intelligence and grace. When living in their natural habitat, they can attain the age of 100 to 150 years or even more but in captivity their average age comes down to about 60 to 70 years.
