Elephants are not fat. They are just... huge! They have a large body yes, but they are not fat.

Answer 2

Young elephants are born without digestive bacteria. Without those bacteria, they cannot digest plants. By eating the poop of adult elephants which have the necessary bacteria, they introduce the necessary bacteria to their digestive systems. Adult elephants may do the same as a sort of "probiotic supplement."

Answer 3

Elephants eat large amounts of plant material. They cannot digest it without the help of bacteria. The bacteria ferment the plant material, which makes it possible for the elephant to absorb nutrients from the food. However, the fermentation process produces gases such as methane. Elephants fart to release the methane produced by digestion.

Answer 4

Elephants do have "gas." It is created by bacteria in their digestive tracts who eat tough fibers in the plants that elephants consume. I know for sure that all grass eating animals "pass wind," and I'm pretty sure that all other land animals do, too.
