They also don't need shelter for breeding, as baby elephants are plenty protected by large ones and capable of moving around on their own. Also, some animals need shelter to protect them from the natural elements. Elephants are build strong enough that that does not apply to them, so they don't really need any. In other words, elephants are designed so that they don't need shelter.
