Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions below.
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

miles (4.8 million square kilometers) of available habitat.
