An African elephant has more than one way to defend itself.

If threatened by another animal or human, the elephant may charge at the threat, using it's weight to overcome the threat.


Some elephants grow tusks, they can be used as a weapon.


The elephant also has a very thick skin, this is like a suit of armour to defend against attack.
