Physical Characteristics The elephant is Earths largest land animal, although the Asian elephant is slightly smaller than its African cousin. Asian elephants can be identified by their smaller, rounded ears, whereas the African elephant has larger ears to help keep it cool in the scorching African heat. An elephants trunk is actually a long nose with many functions. It is used for smelling, breathing, trumpeting, drinking, & also for grabbing. The trunk alone contains about 100, 000 different muscles. The Asian elephant has a fingerlike feature on the end of their trunk that they can use to grab small items & the African elephant has two fingerlike protrusions. Habitat African & Asiatic elephants roam savannas & light forests while the African Forest Elephant mainly lives in African rain forests. Behaviour Elephants are fond of water & enjoy showering by sucking water into their trunks & spraying it all over themselves. Afterwards, they often spray their skin with a protective coating of dust. Both male & female African elephants have tusks they use to dig for food & water & strip bark from trees. Males also use the tusks to battle one another. Breeding Herds are composed of mostly females with an older dominant female taking charge. Males are ousted from the herd when they become sexually mature. They roam by themselves & rejoin the females for mating. Elephants have an extremely long gestation period; conception to birth takes 630 days to two years. After a successful birth, an elephant wont conceive again for another 4-5 years. Diet As herbivores, Elephants eat roots, grasses, fruit, & bark, & they eat a lot of these things. An adult elephant can consume up to 300 pounds (136 kilograms) of food in a single day. These hungry animals do not sleep much, & they roam over great distances while foraging for the large quantities of food they require to sustain their massive bodies. Strange & Interesting Facts Elephants can receive & produce low frequency sounds, transmitting them over long distances to communicate with each other. A low grumble at a decibel not available to human ears keeps the members of the herd in contact as they go about their daily search for food & water. ...
