Now that the mammoth is extinct, the elephant is the largest of all animals living. It is a strange looking animal, with its thick legs, large hanging ears, small tail, little eyes, long white tusks, and above all, its long nose, called the trunk. The trunk is the elephant’s peculiar feature, and it puts it to various uses. It draws up water by its trunk, and squirts it all over its body like a shower bath; and with it, it picks leaves from the trees and puts them into its mouth. In fact, its trunk serves the elephant as a long arm and hand. Elephants look heavy yet they can move very quickly when they like.
Elephants are found in India and in Africa. The African elephant differs in some points from the Indian, being larger, with longer tusks and bigger ears. In fact the two are considered to be different species. In both countries, they live in herds in the jungles, and are naturally shy animals that keep away from men. Elephants live entirely on leaves of trees, grass, roots and bulbs.
