Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus)
Asian Elephants inhabit various habitats ranging from India and Nepal to Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, and Malaysia.
They are smaller than their African counterparts, standing at 9 feet and weighing 8,800 pounds on average. Their heads have two humps and small, rounded ears.
Only male Asian elephants have long tusks, while females have small ones called tushes. However, some may never grow tusks, depending on their genetic makeup. These megaherbivores consume up to 330 pounds of vegetation daily, including grass, leaves, shoots, barks, fruits, nuts, and seeds.
Eurasian skylark (Bird)
The female Eurasian skylark builds an open nest in a shallow depression on open ground well away from trees, bushes and hedges. She lays three to five eggs which she incubates for around 11 days. The chicks are fed by both parents but leave the nest after eight to ten days, well before they can fly. They scatter and hide in the vegetation but continue to be fed by the parents until they can fly at 18 to 20 days of age. Nests are subject to high predation rates by larger birds and small mammals. The parents can have several broods in a single season.
Asian Pear Trees
Growing Asian pear trees will give you access to these delicious fruits, which can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. "Asian pears are known for their crisp texture and a sweet, melon-like flavor when ripe, making them refreshing to eat raw or in salads,” Popat says. Plant your Asian pear tree near another variety of pear—they require cross-pollination with another pear variety for best fruit production.
