Elephants

A blue whales tongue weight approximately 3 metric tons. The length of the skull on an average is around 19 feet and so the tongue can be around the same size. Its mouth is large enough to hold 90 metric tons of food and water.

Infant elephants use their mouths while curling up their trunks out of the way.

an elephant can eat 300 pounds of food in one day and must eat that much

i know that because i read it in a geographic book about elephants.

if they do not eat that much or more, they may die.

the earth had 1,000 elephants but now the world only has 400!

so help elephants on working on finding food if you are a zoo keeper

or if you want to help!

Yes, they do weight a lot.

The weight of an average, full grown Asian elephant is 3 tons.

The weight of an average, full grown African forest elephant is 3 tons.

The weight of an average, full grown African bush elephant is 6-1/2 tons.

The African Elephant is much larger than the Asian Elephant. Therefore they have larger ears and bigger bodies.

The African elephant has larger ears because it is designed for a warmer climate. besides the ears being used for hearing they also play an important part in body temperature control and the movement of air from the body.

I will be quite honest with you by saying until you asked the question ... I had never heard of any such creature.

When I searched the web I found a few really funny pictures of a frog/turtle like thing which states that it burrows under ground and lays it's eggs there.

All I can say is it looks really fake and doesn't appear like it can do much of anything. By it's design it looks like easy prey for anthing that moves on the planet.

Male African elephants stand at around 10 to 13 feet tall at their shoulder. Female African elephants stand at around 7.2 to 8.5 feet tall at their shoulder. The Average African elephant weighs 2.7 to 6 tonnes. Though the African females are known to weigh approximately the same as their Asian counterparts, African Bulls are known to be much heavier than their Asian brothers.

• they find a dead one and then eat it!

Yes, elephants are subject to fevers, infections, malnourishment, and a host of diseases and ailments.

Male African elephants stand at around 10 to 13 feet tall at their shoulder and weigh between 10000 to 13000 pounds

Female African elephants stand at around 7.2 to 8.5 feet tall at their shoulder and weigh between 4500 to 7000 pounds

Their Indian counterparts are around a feet or 2 shorter than the African elephants and weigh approximately a 1000 pounds or more lesser than them.

a bull elephant is 2 foot bigger than a cow elephant

Elephants essentially walk tip-toed and the rest of the foot is made up of fatty-fibrous tissue. This tissue acts as a shock absorber, which also helps to muffle sound, and the shape of the foot makes it relatively easy for elephants to walk in mud. I can only assume the 'flat shape' evolved to accomidate the elephants weight.

Yes, some tusks are hollow; and no, some aren't. For example, the tusks of elephants, hippopotamuses, mammoths, walruses, and whales are mostly solid. But the narwhal tusk is hollow, as is that of the wild boar for much of its length.

A baby dolphin drinks as much milk as a baby dolphin wants. Unless the mother dolphin and baby dolphin does not bond. Then the baby dolphin gets none.

Female elephants social life revolves around breeding and raising of calves. A female will usually be sexually mature at around the age of thirteen.

After a gestation period of twenty-two-month, the mother gives birth to a calf that weighs about 115 kg and stands over 75 cm tall

The new born is usually the center of attention for the whole herd. The baby is born nearly blind and at first relies almost completely on its trunk to discover the world around it. The whole herd helps defend and raise the young one.

usually for the first two weeeks of their lives they sleep about 13 hours of the day and after a month they constantly drink and eat. At the 1 year stage the will be half-grown and will start to get aggresive if not trained. Make sure they have plenty of meat and water. The wilf will eventually calm-down and be friendly if taken care of well.

There are two kinds of African elephants: (1) the African bush elephant; and (2) the African forest elephant.

Many African countries, such as Botswana, are passing laws making it illegal to kill an elephant without approval of the government. More countries need to step up, though, in order to make these laws successful. Scientists are also putting radio collars on elephants so they can check their migrating habits, so these areas can be patrolled by African police.

maye be south africa or thailand

Asian elephants only have one calf at a time. They typically have about 4 offspring in their life time.

Antelopes jump to escape their predators. They generally jump into dense bush that their predators can not get into.

Play it by ear. If you play it by ear, you don't have a plan of action, but decide what to do as events take shape.

Yes it is 'play it by ear' and it comes from when a musician plays a piece of music without the music sheet in front of them, they are making it up from listening to it, playing it by ear.

Because they are relatively unchanged evolutionarily from the ancient Elephant Shrews

Because elephants and dogs do not perspire.

No not at all. Elephants may appear evil when they ruin crops or kill farmers but they are doing these things out of a need for food or out of fear that turns into aggression.
