The current range consists of small discontinuous areas in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia (only about 5% of the historical range). They live in a variety of habitats in the tropical region, including grasslands, tropical evergreen forests, moist deciduous forests, and scrub forests, typically in elevations from sea level to 3,000 meters, but elephants that live near the Himalaya Mountains sometimes move up higher than this range in hot weather (animaldiversity.org).
