Elephants live in forests where rich vegetations are usually high up in the tree. The leaves of plants form the basic source of food for the elephants and the tusks help them bend or break branches of the trees and help them pluck out the leaves and fruits from the trees. The trunks also help them suck up water and helps them drink.
