Habitat. As generalists, Asian Elephants inhabit grassland, tropical evergreen forest, semi-evergreen forest, moist deciduous forest, dry deciduous forested, and dry thorn forest, in addition to cultivated and secondary forests and scrublands. Current extent and habitats used are primarily a function of human distribution. Commonly, elephants are relegated to regions not suited for agriculture, such as montane forests. In such habitats, use of edge regions (both forest and bush) and grass-dominated areas appears to be common and preferred. In Sri Lanka, elephants appear to prefer grassland-dominated savanna over dense forest. Over this range of habitat types elephants are seen from sea level to over 3000 m. In the Eastern Himalaya in north-east India, they regularly move up above 3000 m in summer at a few sites.
