This is considered to be the earliest direct evidence of the ancestors of modern living elephants and is the oldest evidence of a herd of elephants. The location of the discovery of ancient elephant footprints in Mleisa 1 belongs to the United Arab Emirates. This region is considered to be the most diverse area of animals including: elephants, antelopes, giraffes, wild boars, monkeys, ostriches .
These footprints cover an area of 5 ha. This area is equivalent to a football field for 9 people in the United States.

Faysal Bibi, a vertebrate paleontologist at Berlin's Natural History Museum, said: 'This is basically a unique, rare fossil record that is saved so we can see how Live of this animal '.
Analysis of elephant footprints shows that they live in at least 13 elephants of different shapes and ages. In addition, they found traces of a male elephant going another way and separated from their flock. These evidence suggests that ancient elephants acted as herds and separated elephants like elephants today.
