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 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 square 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 (4.8
million square kilometers) of available habitat.

Games were always held. The first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C., and the Games took place
every four years after that date until A.D.394

to take part in the Games in 1900. Since that time, the Games have been held every four years as in the
ancient Greece. The Games, however, did not take place in 1916, 1940 and 1944 because of the two
