There are normally 3 nails on each back foot and 3 on each front - totalling 12 nails on an elephant. Note that these are not actually toe nails in the typical sense and are not directly linked to the number of digits in the foot. Apparently, Asian elephants have 4 nails on the back feet and 4 on the front.
