Answer 1

Hint: It is the second largest mammal on the earth. It is generally observed in some temples to bring good fortune, luck and to draw the tourist’s attention. Furthermore, these animals will have a large trunk.

Complete answer:
Elephants are the largest land animals which will weigh up to 7 tons. They have a large head, broad ears, long, muscular, and flexible trunk and have a thick loose skin.
Elephants are mostly grayish in color and the body hair will be sparse and coarse. They are mostly found in savannas, grasslands, and forests but can occupy a wide range of habitats, such as deserts, swamps, and highlands in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia.
African elephants
-The African savanna or the bush elephant will weigh up to 8,000 kg (9 tons) and its height is 3 to 4 meters at the level of shoulders. 
-The African forest elephant will live in the rainforests and is smaller than the savanna elephant. It possesses slender, downward-pointing tusks. 
Asian elephants
The Asian elephant will weigh about 5,500 kg and has a shoulder height of nearly 3.5 metres. The Asian elephant includes three subspecies: the Indian, or mainland elephant called E. maximus indicus,  the Sumatran called E. Maximus sumatranus, and the Sri Lankan elephant called E. Maximus maximus. African elephants will have larger ears, to dissipate body heat.
So, the correct answer is ‘Elephant’.

Note: The most important communication between elephants is touch.  Elephants will greet each other by stroking or wrapping their trunks. The older elephants will use trunk-slaps, and kicks to discipline the younger elephants.
