The Elephant...Non Ruminants
The Importance of Elephants

Elephants are a keystone species in the savannah ecosystem because many plant species require seeds to go through a digestive system before germination. It is estimated that at least one—third of tree species in West Africa rely on the elephants' digestive system for germination. Many savannah species, including elephants, benefit from the new vegetation growth for food and shelter.
