Everything about elephants

Elephants eat roots, grasses, fruit, and bark. An adult elephant can consume up to 300 pounds of food in a single day. Isn't that amazing

African elephants live in sub-Saharan Africa, the rain forests of Central and West Africa and the Sahel desert in Mali.

• They're the world's largest land animal.
• You can tell the two species apart by their ears.
• Their trunks have mad skills.
• Their tusks are actually teeth.
• They've got thick skin.
• Elephants are constantly eating.
• They communicate through vibrations.
• Calves can stand within 20 minutes of birth.

A baby elephant is called a calf. It weighs about 250 pounds at birth and stands about three feet tall. Calves can't see very well at first, but they can recognize their mothers by touch, scent, and sound. Baby elephants stay very close to their mothers for the first couple of months.
