No ,elephants are not meat eaters... They are herbivores, eating a variety of vegetation, and spending on average 16 hours a day collecting food. Grasses, make up about 50% of their diet, while leaves, bamboo, bark, roots, twigs, and small amounts of fruits, seeds, and flowers, make up the remaining food intake. The adult elephants digestive system can only digest 40% of what they eat. They must make up for this by eating more, on a daily basis. An adult elephant on average, can consume 300-600 pounds (140-270 kg) of food daily, depending on their size, and activity.
