How are elephants bodies designed to keep them cool?

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. By Amber D
