Elephants need many more pounds/kilograms of food a day than could be provided in the desert and this dies not even consider the water needs of elephants.
No not at all. Elephants may appear evil when they ruin crops or kill farmers but they are doing these things out of a need for food or out of fear that turns into aggression.
They don't dig. If there is a problem finding food or water they seek it out. A herd will relocate to find what they need.
Baby elephants (as well as some other animals) eat the feces of their mother or other animals in the herd to obtain the bacteria they need to digest their food. Elephants digest plant matter in their gut using bacteria, and since elephants are born without this bacteria, they need to eat the feces of other elephants to obtain it.
No, elephants do not hibernate. They are awake and active throughout the year. Only animals that live in the polar region hibernate and elephants live only in hot countries and in dense forests. So they don't have a need to hibernate.
The same way as we do... From their food. Often there normal food does not have all they need, this is why for instance elephants visit particular mud slicks to eat the clay
