Elephants

An elephant's percentage of body fat is quite a bit less than expected with an average body fat of only 5% to 7%. The skin of the elephant actually weighs more than their total body fat.

Osmium is much denser than an elephant. Which is heavier depends on how much elephant and how much osmium you're talking about. An elephant-sized pile of osmium would weigh over 20 times as much as an elephant-sized elephant would.

I do not believe giraffe's hibernate but it would be weird lol am i not right that would also be cool if you walked by a hibernating giraffe lol well my name is Kayla adkins and i go to urbana high schoolnlol:)

Yes, they are. Elephants make rumbles and other noises to communicate with other elephants. They fan back their ears when scared to appear larger, and wave they're ears around when they're happy. And when they flap they're ears and they are hot, they fanning themselves and cooling off!

Hens eat just about everything. They love greens and seeds, bugs and flies. The eat fruit and vegetables. It is best to feed them a nutritious mix of grain and protein matter called laying mash or laying pellets and that is available from feed stores but they will survive on forage and table scraps.

The largest elephant ever recorded was shot in Angola in 1955. It was a male that weighed 10,900 kg or 12 tons.

P.T. Barnum's elephant Jumbo was killed September 15, 1885, on railroad tracks. Height 11.5 feet, weight 6.5 tons, 24 years old.

I believe the cause was the elephant taking advantage of the man's kindness and eventually claiming the man's hut as his own.

elephants are used in zoos for people to look at and feed. they are also used in circuses as show animals. they are also used on animal testing(which should be banned) because they have the same skin as other things or people.

There are only two animals that are not able to move backward. These animals are the kangaroo and the emu.

Note that an elephant can even take down 7 attacking lions in a large pride by charging and crushing them to death. One lion cannot kill an elephant due to the elephant's thick skin, muscles, and size. At least 10 lions are good enough to kill an elephant.

No. An elephant has thick hide and would trample the lion to death.

Pygmy elephants are not extinct. They are currently classified as endangered due to threats such as habitat loss, illegal poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve the remaining populations of pygmy elephants in order to prevent their extinction.

Elephants are born one at a time. About one every one year.

All Elephants have tusksAll Elephants have tusks

No, they give birth through the birth canal, like all animals do.

== == The African elephant is the largest land animal. It could be said that the Asian elephant is the second largest. If you lump all elephants together, that would leave the white rhinoceros as the second largest. The Indian rhinoceros and the hippopotamus are "similar" in size to the white rhino, but the record largest white rhino is larger than either the Indian rhino or the hippo.

viviparous because they are born from their mothers and not from a egg

Elephants have long lifespans due to their slow rate of reproduction, which reduces the pressure for the species to evolve shorter lifespans. They also have few natural predators in the wild, which can contribute to their extended lifespan. Additionally, elephants have developed social structures and behaviors that help protect and support older individuals within their herds.

There is no actual reason for the size of their ears. It is just one of their adaptations.

that was not the answer i was looking for

The reason why the rabbits ears are so large is because they have had to adapt to their environment in the wild, as they are a prey animal, and have many predators, they have had to adapt to be able to 'tell' when an predator is in the vicinity.

The rabbits ears are large, which enables them to catch the sound waves more effectively, and hear the sounds in the environment more clearly. they are able to hear predators and humans approach from a distance, and are also able to use their keen sense of smell to tell where and how near a animal or predator is, they are also able to tell the difference between male and female humans from their scent.

Rabbits also use their ears as a temperature control mechanism, to warm themselves up or cool themselves down, they are able to do this because their ears are filled with blood vessels which run close to the surface of the ear. When the animal is too hot the blood vessels are able to cool the blood down from the cool air around the ear, the blood vessels are also able to warm the blood by the ears being in the sun, warming the ears and in turn the animal..... hope this helps :)

A tusk from an adult male elephant weighs between 100 and 175 pounds, according to SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, while a tusk from an adult female elephant weighs between 40 and 44 pounds.

The heaviest tusk ever recorded weighed in at 220 pounds

Elephants are still living and can be found in Africa and Asia.

Elephants do not eat humans or any meat. They eat plants.

Elephants aren't fat, just big and weighty so they can knock down trees to eat their leaves and bark and to fight of predators etc. They just appear fat to most humans.

They may also store fat to see them through long, dry months without food, like camels do with their humps.

Elephants are large powerful creatures.

They are able to easily kill a person by stomping or smashing them with their very large heads. They also complete for resources with humans that live in their environment.

Many tribal Africans need to do as the elephants do, and move their people to where food can grow and water is nearby. This means they also have to deal with animals that want their food. Elephants have been known to raid farms, eating or destroying good deals of what the village had grown. They will also retaliate when the villagers chase them off.

There have been reported cases of villagers killing a younger elephant that is raiding their food supply, only to have the mother elephant come back looking for their young one, and tearing down parts of the village. In one case reported case, she could smell the blood of her calf inside a hut, and came right through the wall, killing some of the people inside.
