Does elephants have a territory

Yes, elephants do have territories, though their social structure and movement patterns can vary significantly between species. African elephants often roam large areas, with some herds covering hundreds of miles, while Asian elephants may have more defined home ranges. Instead of strict territorial boundaries, elephants typically establish overlapping ranges with other herds, relying on social interactions and communication to manage their space. Factors such as food availability, water sources, and mating opportunities influence their movement and territorial behaviors.
