Elephants are the largest land animals.
They can weigh over 6,000
kg, or more than the weight of four cars! The one feature that makes an
elephant unmistakable is its long trunk. A trunk is an elephant's best tool
for sucking up water, digging, grabbing, lifting, sniffing, and breathing.
The trunk even has a fingerlike tip that can flick dirt from an elephant’s
eye or pick up a single blade of grass. There are three species of
elephants. Two species live in Africa and one lives in Asia. All three species
are endangered.
