Elephants, yo!

This book could have used any animal, so I'm wondering, why elephants? 
In order to keep us all on the same page going into this analysis, I did some research and found info about elephants.
They are massive, as everyone knows, but they're also brilliant, and they have incredible memories, even better than human memories. Symbolism wise, elephants represent different things. 
African cultures- strength and power
Asian - wisdom
Buddhists - authority

The female matriarch may also be symbolically significant
