Elephants are the biggest living animals on land.There are two kinds of elephants:Africa elephants and Indian elephants.Africa elephants are larger than Indian elephants,and they have much larger ears.Elephants have to eat a lot because they are so big.One elephant can eat between 100 and 1,000 pounds of grass in a day!They can live for 60-70 years.
There are no bones in the back of elephants’ feet,only fat.Elephants walk on tiptoe.They can move quietly and walk in the mud easily.
Elephants grow tusks.The tusks are large teeth that stick out of their mouths.Sometimes,hunters kill elephants to make beautiful things and piano keys.
