I have long slender fingers, but really short (petite) nail beds & have the same difficult nail growth issues as you. I can say that I've bitten my nails somewhat in the past. However, there have been times I've managed to grow my nails 1/2 inch long in the past, & it still looks like they haven't grown at all! They're just so small & brittle. They've been that way since my birth. I'm 30 now, & there's not much I've been able to do to change it or make the nails stronger. I've tried everything. I've always hated the feeling of lack of femininity it gives me having these short nails. But it is what it is. It seems I'll have to continue to get acrylic (fake nails) applied whenever I want to splurge on getting fancy now & then. It seems to be a permanent thing for me. Just want to let you know that you're not alone!

How many nails does an African elephant have?

There are normally 3 nails on each back foot and 3 on each front - totalling 12 nails on an elephant. Note that these are not actually toe nails in the typical sense and are not directly linked to the number of digits in the foot. Apparently, Asian elephants have 4 nails on the back feet and 4 on the front.
