Summary

edit
Description Elephants are ponderous animals endowed with a versatile trunk (having 40,000 muscles). The large trunk has a nasal opening at its tip, but elephants do not use it like a straw to drink through — they suck water into the trunk and squirt it into their mouths. Asian elephants average 9 ft. in height at the shoulder and can weigh up to five tons. Females are usually smaller than males and can be easily distinguished by the two mammary glands located on the chest. Elephants have poor eyesight, acute hearing, and are covered by a coat of bristly hair. They have small eyes, a slender tail, and have no canine teeth. Usually only male elephants of the Asian species have tusks, which are modified incisors.
