The diet of an elephant in the wild consists of grasses, small plants and bushes, fruit, twigs, tree bark, and roots.
Elephants are hunted an killed by man, lion, hyena, and wild dog. No doubt, somewhere in the world, man will eat elephant as a "delicacy"; but lions, hyenas, and wild dog will eat any elephant they can kill.
