Herd behavior in elephants ensures that individuals are protected and the species is perpetuated.
It is a behavior that is characteristic of animals that form herds.
Herds generally refer to groups of animals that live or move together or both.
By protecting individual elephants that are weak or young from being preyed upon by lions and leopards, more members of the population survive.
When more members of the population survive, the species is perpetuated and the likelihood of going into extinction reduces.
