Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer:
Asian elephants used to live in the forests from Iraq to Southern China. Since these forests were cut down to make
room for farms and villages, the elephants had to live in small, hilly regions. These small areas cannot supply enough food
for them. An adult elephant eats about 331 pounds (150 kg) of grasses, leaves and other plants each day. When forests were
larger, Asian elephants migrated with the seasons. In this way, they found new food supplies. The plants and trees could also
grow again after elephants left.
Today, there is nowhere for the elephants to go. Experts say that the Asian elephant population is about 55,000 living
on a habitat of about 19,000 squares miles (30,400 square kilometres). In contrast to this, the African elephant population is
about 10 times this size and live on almost 3 million square miles (48 million square kilometres) of available habitat.
