Elephants need salt primarily for their health and physiological functions, as sodium and other minerals are essential for maintaining electrolyte balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. In the wild, they often seek out natural salt licks to supplement their diet, as their herbivorous diet may not provide sufficient amounts of these minerals. Additionally, salt helps regulate hydration and supports overall metabolic processes. Thus, access to salt is crucial for their well-being.

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.
