Elephants are complex social animals that live in family groups. In the wild, elephants form herds as a defence because it makes it harder for other animals to attack them. Being in herds also helps individual elephants create bonds, which brings them closer together.
Adult male and female elephants live in separate herds. The matriarchal herd, is a group of related females consisting of a mother and young with her grown daughters and their offspring.
