A fly can fly because this word is both a noun and a verb... the object fly can have an action fly, meanwhile the word elephant is simply a noun and there is not generally accepted a verb "elephant". So saying and elephant can elephant doesn't convey a sense of meaning since the usage of elephant as a verb does not convey a known sense of action.
