Consider the following statements and select which one of the statements is not correct.

  • A.A herd usually has 10 to 12 female elephants and young ones.
  • B.Oldest female elephant is the leader of the herd.
  • C.An elephant herd has only females and baby elephants.
  • D.Male elephants leave the herd when they are 24-25 years old.

Answer: D

The incorrect statement is male elephants leave the herd when they are 24-25 years old.

Elephants live in herds of related females and their young, typically around 10 to 12 females with their calves, led by the oldest female (the matriarch). Young males leave the herd as they approach maturity, in their early to mid teens, not at 24 to 25 years.

The other three statements match that account: herd size, leadership by the oldest female, and a herd made up only of females and young, since adult males live alone or in loose groups of males.
