The mother elephant has to look after her babies or a lion might eat it. Elephants roll in the mud to keep cool or they put water in their trunks and spray it on their backs.
People ride on elephants backs and heads. Elephants weigh 7000 pounds. Elephants have small eyes. When elephants are old their tusks fall off and the elephants grow more. During the day their skin gets dirty. A baby elephant drinks gallons of milk from its mother. Dust protects them from insects.
When elephants die people take their tusks and carve it. Elephants are the largest mammal on land. When an elephant is old it will go out on its own to die. Elephants use their trunks to put food in the babies’ mouth.
Elephants have big ears and four legs, a tail, a trunk and tusks. If an ant goes in an elephant’s ear it will make it frantic. Elephants are gray. Usually elephants have one baby at a time. Baby elephants weigh 208 pounds. People chain elephants.
Elephant milk is the richest milk in the world. Some times baby elephants get stuck in the mud. People train elephants to do work. You can see elephants at the zoo or in a circus.
