• An African male may way up to 7 tons
• The trunk of an elephant is sensitive enough to pick uo a single blade of grass, yet strong enough to pick up a heavy log. Wow you know that is so amazing.
• An elephant can draw up tp 4 gallons of water in its trunk
• Elephants spray them selves with  water and dirt to keep bugs and harmful sun rays away.

• Elephants spend 16 hrs a day searching for leaves, shrubs, fruits, and bark, and will consume between 300 - 400 lbs of food and 50 gallons of water.
• Elephant herds are very social. Yound adults will even babysit" the younger children.
• Herds are led by the oldest most experienced cow (female elephant). In youre face male dominating dudes.
