Elephants and the Environment
Elephants need a lot of space, food and water to survive. They also need shelter from the hot sun. They eat grass, fruit and leaves.
Elephants drink at the waterhole and shelter under trees when it is very hot.
They love mud. It stops the hot sun from hurting their skin. It keeps insects away too.
