Elephants

An elephant's foot can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and can cause significant damage and pain if it stomps on your foot. A stiletto heel, while painful, is unlikely to cause the same level of injury as an elephant's foot.

Yes, African elephants have several special adaptations to their environment. These include their large ears, which help regulate body temperature, their long tusks used for feeding and defense, and their trunk, which is a versatile tool for gathering food and water. Additionally, their thick skin provides protection against the sun and insects.

can somebody please explain the meaning of elephants trunk curled outwards

Yes, elephants can be brown. Their skin color can vary from dark grey to light brown, depending on factors such as age, habitat, and exposure to sunlight. Brown elephants are not uncommon, especially in certain regions where the soil color or environmental conditions may influence their appearance.

To determine the average weight of the elephant subspecies, the researcher should collect a sample of weights from the elephants in the subspecies and calculate the mean weight. They can then use statistical methods to estimate the population average weight of the subspecies with a certain level of confidence. The standard deviation obtained from previous studies can help assess the variability of the weights within the subspecies and provide insights into the spread of the data.

I dont think they would because they are herbivores and eat the usual plant diet of leaves, twigs and other such plants.

Elephants are herbivores, so they eat a lot of fruit, bark, shrubs, grass, and leaves. In captivity, elephants also enjoy peanuts (this tale is true), hay, watermelon, and pumpkins. Adult elephants eat about 220-440 pounds of food per day in the wild, based upon what their size and age is. Elephants also drink from 20-40 gallons of water per day.

The heaviest recorded modern day elephant was an African elephant which weighed 12 tons. It was a bull elephant shot dead in Angola, in 1974.

Asian elephants are huge, but are generally smaller than the African savanna species. Asian elephants grow up to 21 feet long, stand up to ten feet tall, and weigh up to 11,000 pounds. Females reach about eight and a half feet tall and weigh less than males.

elephants can go up to 25mph elephants can walk/run 40kmh

The African hyrax is one of the elephants' closest relatives. It's name, in an African dialect, is "little cousin to the elephant". Physically, it's feet are similar, but over all, it looks like a large rodent.

"Dunking the trunk" is a slang term typically used in hip-hop culture to refer to listening to loud music with heavy bass in a car with a powerful sound system. It is a way to describe playing music at a high volume to showcase the quality of the audio system in a vehicle.

Yes, elephants have a strong sense of smell and use it to locate food, water, and other elephants. Their sense of smell is one of their most important senses and plays a crucial role in their survival.

Generally, African elephants live to the age of about 60 years. They generally die of starvaion when their 6th and final set of teeth wears away. There are probably documented records of lifespans of zoo elephants. Peter Winhall

Elephants, rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses used to all be categorized in the same family of pachyderms. However, they have now been divided up into different families. Elephants are in the family of elephantidae, hippos are in the family hippopotamidae, and rhinos are in the family rhinocerotidae.

Male elephants are also called Tuskers or Bulls. Tuskers is a term that is used to refer to very large male elephants that have extremely large tusks. Spotting such tuskers is rare because most of them were wiped out by hunting and poaching.

im pretty sure cuz it is PRETTY big look 4 more of my answers!"!!!

Actually the Blue Whale is larger than an elephant. It is not unheard of than a Blue Whale's tongue will even out-weigh an elephant, although this isn't the case every time. Remember to recommend me! -Klive

Asian elephants are endangered and African Bush Elephants are vulnerable, but both African forest elephants and African elephants are not, although there has been a large decline in numbers due mainly to poaching.

Elephant Run is a book by Roland Smith and it is about a Boy Named Nick Freestone who lives with his mother and step-father in London, until the bombing come. The story takes place in 1941, during world war one. Nick's mother thinks the situation in London is too unstable, so she sends him to live on his father's teak plantation in Burma, which is where the elephants come in. The teak is hauled by timber elephants. Nick just starts getting used to his new digs when the Japanese bring trouble. They invade Burma and Nick's father and his new friend Indaw, one of the elephant mahouts, and Nick's friend Mya's big brother, become prisoners of war. Nick and Mya are stranded at the plantation and made to be servants to the Japanese. This story tells of their adventures as they desperately try to escape. It is an awesome book!

You can stop animals from being over hunted by restricting hunting seasons or imposing fines for hunting them. Creating conservation programs helps hunters better understand the risks these animals face.

Adult Male Elephants have the longest and largest tusks of all elephant species. The tusks grow around 18 cm every year. African Elephants have a much larger tusk than their Asian counterparts. They can grow to upto 3 meters in length. They can weigh around 90 kilograms or so. The asian elephant tusts are much smaller and weigh around 40 kilos. The Tusk is nothing but a teeth that has grown out of the skull. Just like a human teeth, it is made of calcium and other minerals. It is used as a display of size and strength and sometimes during fights or to bring down a tree while feeding. Females usually have a very small tusk or no tusk at all.

it has big ears to flap its self to cool down it also has tusks to protect themselves against predators such as lions hyenas and humans . elephants eat mostly leaves but will sometimes accidentely eat a fly or two

Yes if lions are starving they can even scavenge for bugs but it won't help them they have to eat meat to feel satisfied

All animals have a instinct and/or organism that helps them adapt to their newly changed habitat. It's the evolution of everything all over again. How lions grew to have claws and climb on the rocky plains or how the birds grew wings to be able to fly and land on trees. Unfortunately elephants have not been observed to grow wings and fly or climb trees.

The metabolism of elephants is able to accommodate a wide range of temperatures and humidity, like all mammals. An elephant can vary its diet and activities to ensure that it has the correct nutrients for the conditions. In rainforests cooling by swimming and waving ears is important. Domesticated elephants may also have a better chance of survival in extreme conditions.

Elephants can run at a maximum speed of around 40 km/h (25 mph) for short distances. Running at 50 km/h would be faster than their typical top speed.
