Besides humans which are predators to pretty much any animal: The elephant has no natural enemies. Fully-grown elephants are so incredibly large that they can easily crush most predators. As a result, lions, hyenas, and tigers attack only the very young elephants. A baby elephant’s mother is very protective of her young. When she is away, other females of the herd look out for her young.

Only Man is a predator of adult elephants. Large felines( Lions, Tigers) and Hyenas will prey on young elephants if they get separated from the herd. See the following article for more. http://www.liberalartsandcrafts.net/contentcatalog/animals/elephant.shtml

No adult elephants don't have predators,bengal tigers usually fear them,but the tigers will try and kill a young elephant for food that gets seperated from its herd.
