Well, the huge ears on an elephant are constantly wafting to keep the elephant cool, and to keep away a few bugs. They don't have much fur so they keep cool. They use their long trunks to suck up water and wet themselves. They have thick leather like skin, they use this advantage to roll in wet mud, the wet mud is cold. The mud sticks to their skin, keeping them cool and keeps the bugs off them.

African elephants live in a hotter climate than indian or asian elephants. Since elephants don't sweat they flap their ears to cool the blood vessels down as much as 10degrees.The Asian elephant has smaller ears because in Asia there are more trees to keep shade but in Africa there are less trees so the African elephant has to keep cool by swaying his or her ears back and forth to make a breeze.
