Elephants are BIG Elephants are the largest mammal that lives on land. They can grow over 13 feet tall and they can weigh up to 15,000 pounds. The only living mammal larger than an Elephant is the Blue Whale, which lives in the ocean. 2. Elephants are SMART Elephants are known for being very smart. They have a very big brain and a great memory. They can remember many things for years! Even though they are so big, they are still gentle and emotional creatures. 3. Elephants are MAMMALS Elephants belong to the mammal family, which means that they have hair, give birth to live young, and when they have their babies, they feed them milk. 4. Two types of elephants: AFRICAN & ASIAN There are two types of elephants, the African and the Asian elephant. The shape of their head is different, but the easiest way to distinguish them is to look at their big ears. African elephants have much larger ears that look sort of like the continent of Africa, while Asian elephants have smaller, round ears. Their large, thin ears help them cool down when it’s very hot. 5. Elephants live in Africa and Asia While elephants are common in zoos all over the world, they naturally live in Africa and Asia. Elephants prefer to stay near water, but can also be found in savannas, marshes, deserts, and forests. 6. Elephants are HERBIVORES Elephants don’t eat meat, they only eat plants. Because an elephant is so large, it needs to eat a lot of plants to get full. Elephants can spend up to 16 hours a day collecting and eating leaves, twigs, bamboo, and roots. 7. Elephants have long strong TRUNKS Their trunks can grow to be about six feet long, and can sense the size, shape, and temperature of anything they touch with it. Elephants use their trunks to help them lift up food, or to suck up water and pour it into their mouth. Some elephants also have tusks and they use their tusks to help dig for water. 8. Elephants live in HERDS Female elephants spend their entire lives living together with other females and calves, or baby elephants. These family groups are called herds and the leader of the pack is usually the oldest female. The leader is known as the matriarch. Male elephants live with the herd until they are about 13 years old. Once they get to this age, they leave the herd and live alone for the rest of their life. Elephants can live up to 70 years old in the wild. 9. Elephants can SWIM Elephants are really good swimmers and they use their trunk as a snorkel underwater. 10. Elephants can easily get SUNBURNED Elephants also get sunburned, which is why they like to be in the shade and often use their trunks to put sand on their backs or like little children they like to roll in the mud to protect their skin from the sun. 11. Elephants don’t need much SLEEP Elephants only sleep about four hours per night and they even spend half of their sleep standing up. If they want a deep sleep then they will lay on their side and usually snore loudly. It is up to us to spread awareness about these beautiful creatures. Did you like the Elephant Fun Facts video?
