Bramble is gentle and steady — real elephants are huge, clever animals who look after each other.
Bramble the Elephant
Meet the real animal
Elephants are the biggest land animals alive today. They live in Africa and in parts of Asia, and they travel in family groups led by an older female. An elephant's trunk is its nose, its hand and its water hose all in one — it can pull up grass, greet a friend or spray a cooling shower.
