How does an elephant living in the tropical rainforest adapt itself?

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.
