Select incorrect statement about elephant herds from the following :

  • A.Female elephants live in herds.
  • B.A herd has 20 to 25 female elephants and their young ones.
  • C.Male elephants live in the herd till they are 14 - 15 years old.
  • D.Male elephants of more than 15 years of age leave the herd and move around alone.

Answer: B

The incorrect statement is a herd has 20 to 25 female elephants and their young ones.

The NCERT EVS textbook describes an elephant herd as made up of females and young ones, usually about 10 to 12 females with their calves, led by an older female. Young males stay with the herd until they are about 14-15 years old and then leave to live alone or in small groups.

So statements 1, 3 and 4 match the textbook, and only the figure of 20 to 25 females is wrong.
