Elephants are not just huge, heavy, and clumsy. They can do amazing things. Everyone knows that elephants use their trunks to hold things, takes up water, and throw dust. Siri, a zoo elephant, held a rock in her trunk, scratch it on the floor, and drew designs. The zookeeper gave Siri a pencil and a paper, and she kept drawing. Elephants eat grass shrubs branches, leaves, bark roots, and fruit. Sometimes they knock down trees, rip off their bark, and dig up their roots. Wild elephants eat 600-800 pounds of food each day.
Elephants' sharp tusks, long trunks, and crushing feet can be dangerous. Elephants can be also intelligent, protective, and gentle. Once, a baby get hurt. The herd followed the leader, found a park ranger, and led the ranger back to the baby elephant.
