Elephants use their ears to cool themselves down by flapping them to create a fan against their skin. This 'fan'cools the blood closest to the skin which is then carried throughout their body to cool the rest of themselves.

Elephants can smell underground water and will use their feet and tusks to dig below the surface of the ground to get to water.
When water is available to them, elephants use their trunks to suck up large quantities and squirt it into their mouth so that they can swallow it.
