Hi
We are learning about elephants.
Elephants live in the wild, in Africa.
They also live in parts of Asia. Elephants are very big. They can weigh up to 14,000 pounds! Elephants have long noses called trunks.They also have big floppy ears.
Elephants love to eat grass and fruits. They also eat roots and bark. They use their trunks to eat. Elephants live in groups called herds. The oldest female leads each herd. She is called the matriarch. Herds count on matriarchs. She knows the area the best . She knows where to find food and water. Sometimes a herd feels threatened. In this case, the herd circles around the matriarch. They protect her from harm. If one member is hurt, the other knows. The herd will move slowly. This is so the hurt elephant can keep up. Elephants are kind and amazing animals. They care for one another.
I loved learning about elephants.
