Elephants have several ways of helping to keep themselves cooler in hot weather, a few of which are:
Their fan their ears, which helps cool the blood as it circulates, therefore cooling their entire body.
The wrinkles in their skin retain moisture, so as it slowly evaporates it helps to cool them.
They use their trunks to spray their body with water, which also cools them.
They use their trunks to cover themselves with dust, which protects them from the sun. It also helps protect them from insect bites, as well.
They lie in pools of water, which cools them much the same as it does humans.
They lie/stand under trees so the shade can help keep them cool.
The baby elephants stand in the shade of their mothers, which helps protect their still tender skin and keep them cooler.
