African Elephants :D

Today am going to talk about the African elephant. African elephants live in hot weather conditions, their trunks help them stay cool. They do this by pooring cool water into their bodies. These animals also use sunscreen well actually dirt but in their case it works as sunscreen to their bodie.Elephants are known for their long trunks. An elephants trunk can be as long as 7 feet long. They dont only use it to smell but also for touching and grassping. When an elephant drinks water they can drink up to 2 gallons of water at a time and eat up to 300 pounds of food a day. An elephant wrap their trunks around trees and into their mouth. An elephants trunk can also be used as a warning when its in danger by making loud trumpeting noises. Their tusks are used to dig food or in their case tree roots. Elephants are known for having the longest pregnancy out of all animals. It last up to 22 months. Mostly elephants dont have enimies but a human can be considered one since they hunt elephants for their big tusks. Tusks are ivory teeth that grow during the elephants life. African elephants weight up to 6 tons and about 12 feet tall. An elephant can live up to 70 years old.
