The Asian elephant is characterised by its long <a href="/wiki/Elephant_trunk" class="mw-redirect" title="Elephant trunk">trunk</a> with a single finger-like processing; large <a href="/wiki/Tusk" title="Tusk">tusks</a> in males; laterally folded large ears but smaller in contrast to African elephants; and wrinkled grey skin. The skin is smoother than African elephants and may be <a href="/wiki/Depigment" class="mw-redirect" title="Depigment">depigmented</a> on the trunk, ears or neck. Adult males average 4 <a href="/wiki/Tonne" title="Tonne">tonnes</a> (4.4 <a href="/wiki/Short_ton" title="Short ton">short tons</a>) in weight, and females 2.7 t (3.0 short tons). </p><p>It is one of only three living species of elephants or <a href="/wiki/Elephantidae" title="Elephantidae">elephantids</a> anywhere in the world, the others being the <a href="/wiki/African_bush_elephant" title="African bush elephant">African bush elephant</a> and <a href="/wiki/African_forest_elephant" title="African forest elephant">African forest elephant</a>. Further, the Asian elephant is the only living species of the genus <i><a href="/wiki/Elephas" title="Elephas">Elephas</a></i>. It is the second largest species of elephant after the African bush elephant. It frequently inhabits <a href="/wiki/Grassland" title="Grassland">grasslands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tropical_evergreen_forest" class="mw-redirect" title="Tropical evergreen forest">tropical evergreen forests</a>, semi-evergreen forests, moist <a href="/wiki/Deciduous_forest" class="mw-redirect" title="Deciduous forest">deciduous forests</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dry_deciduous_forest" class="mw-redirect" title="Dry deciduous forest">dry deciduous forests</a> and dry thorn forests. They are herbivorous, eating about 150 kg (330 lb) of vegetation per day. Cows and calves form groups, while males remain solitary or form "bachelor groups" with other males. During the breeding season, males will temporarily join female groups to mate. Asian elephants have a large and well-developed <a href="/wiki/Neocortex" title="Neocortex">neocortex</a> of the brain, are highly intelligent and self-aware being able to display behaviors associated grief, learning, greeting etc. </p><p>The Asian elephant is the largest living land animal in <a href="/wiki/Asia" title="Asia">Asia</a>. Since 1986, the Asian elephant has been listed as <a href="/wiki/Endangered_species" title="Endangered species">Endangered</a> on the <a href="/wiki/IUCN_Red_List" title="IUCN Red List">IUCN Red List</a>, as the population has declined by at least 50 per cent over the last three elephant generations, which is about 60–75 years. It is primarily threatened by <a href="/wiki/Loss_of_habitat" class="mw-redirect" title="Loss of habitat">loss of habitat</a>, <a href="/wiki/Habitat_degradation" class="mw-redirect" title="Habitat degradation">habitat degradation</a>, <a href="/wiki/Habitat_fragmentation" title="Habitat fragmentation">fragmentation</a> and <a href="/wiki/Poaching" title="Poaching">poaching</a>. Wild Asian elephants live to be about 60 years old. While female captive elephants are recorded to have lived beyond 60 years when kept in semi-natural surroundings, Asian elephants die at a much younger age in captivity; captive populations are declining due to a low birth and high death rate. The earliest indications of captive use of Asian elephants are engravings on seals of the <a href="/wiki/Indus_Valley_civilisation" class="mw-redirect" title="Indus Valley civilisation">Indus Valley

Frontalin is a <a href="/wiki/Pheromone" title="Pheromone">pheromone</a> that was first isolated in bark beetles but can also be produced in the bulls of both Asian and African Elephants. The compound can be excreted through urine as well as through the temporal glands of the bull, allowing signaling to occur. During musth, increased concentrations of frontalin in the bull's urine communicate the reproductive status of the bull to female elephants.<sup id="cite_ref-Rasmussen_66-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Rasmussen-66"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>66<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:2005-tusker-musth-crop.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/2005-tusker-musth-crop.jpg/110px-2005-tusker-musth-crop.jpg" decoding="async" width="110" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/2005-tusker-musth-crop.jpg/165px-2005-tusker-musth-crop.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/2005-tusker-musth-crop.jpg/220px-2005-tusker-musth-crop.jpg 2x" data-file-width="354" data-file-height="532" /></a><figcaption>An asian elephant bull in "<a href="/wiki/Musth" title="Musth">musth</a>", a period when <a href="/wiki/Testosterone" title="Testosterone">testosterone</a> levels run high and <a href="/wiki/Pheromones" class="mw-redirect" title="Pheromones">pheromones</a> are secreted from temporal glands</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tussle_of_tuskers.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Tussle_of_tuskers.jpg/220px-Tussle_of_tuskers.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Tussle_of_tuskers.jpg/330px-Tussle_of_tuskers.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/Tussle_of_tuskers.jpg/440px-Tussle_of_tuskers.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6000" data-file-height="4000" /></a><figcaption>Friendly tussle of tuskers at Dhikala grassland in Jim Corbett National Park</figcaption></figure> <p>Similar to other mammals, hormone secretion in female elephants is regulated by an <a href="/wiki/Estrous_cycle" title="Estrous cycle">estrous cycle</a>. This cycle is regulated by surges in <a href="/wiki/Luteinizing_hormone" title="Luteinizing hormone">Luteinizing hormone</a> that are observed three weeks from each other.

Female elephants give ovulatory cues by utilizing sex <a href="/wiki/Pheromone" title="Pheromone">pheromones</a>.
