The world’s largest mammal

Did you know that a full-sized elephant needs to eat over 100 kg of food every single day? An elephant
must eat almost non-stop in order to get all the food it needs to survive. They eat mostly plants such
as grasses, plants, roots, tree bark and leaves. Elephants must use their tusks to rip the bark off trees
in order to consume it. Elephants also need to drink a great deal of water in order to survive and they
use their trunks to spray the water into their mouths. Because they need to drink so much, elephants
are normally found close to water. Luckily, elephants are able to survive in a wide range of locations
because they can eat many different types of food. They often move from place to place, in order to
follow the foods that grow in these areas at different times of the year. Many elephants living in Africa
are protected in parks to try to increase their population.
Elephants like to roam and therefore need plenty of space to wander around. Keeping them in small
zoo enclosures or making them perform circus acts can be extremely cruel. Elephants need wide open
spaces. They are extremely intelligent animals and are even thought to be ranked equally with dolphins
for their solving abilities.
