Read the passage carefully and answer the given questions.

Elephants

Elephants are the largest land mammals in the world. Asian elephants are smaller than African elephants. They
are the only mammal that cannot jump. They live in herds and eat leaves, grass and tree bark. They spend an
average 12-18 hours a day eating. An adult elephant will eat between 90kg to 272kg of food and drink 190
liters of water per day.

Elephants have poor eyesight but an amazing sense of smell. The ears of an African elephant are about 1.3
meters long. Their ears are made up of a complex network of blood vessels which help regulate their
temperature. Blood is circulated through their ears to cool them down in hot climates.

Elephants can live to be over 70 years old. They can get sun burnt, so they protect themselves with sand. They
usually sleep for only two or three hours a day.

Elephants can swim. They use their trunks to breathe like a snorkel in deep water. The elephant’s feet are
covered in a soft padding that helps uphold their weight, prevent slipping and dull any sound.

Elephants are scared of ants. They stay away from trees infested with ants, to avoid these tiny creatures
crawling up their sensitive trunks.

Answer these questions.
