This is the African Elephant. It is
the largest
land animal in the world. It has BIG ears.
It has a long trunk.
Elephants
run towards their enemies with its BIG TUSKS
to protect itself.
Elephants must keep
walking and walking to
find food and water.
The African
Elephant eats 300 pounds of
plants a day!
That's like you eating 20 BIG cooked TURKEYS in one day!
It uses the
two finger like things on the end of
its trunk to eat. If you touch and elephant, you
would find out that their skin is
ROUGH and THICK! Even though it's thick, an
elephant's skin is also very sensitive. Elephants will spray
themselves with water, or roll in the mud or dust for protection
from sun and biting insects.
At the end of a long day, the
elephant sleeps. Good night, Elephant!
