More about elephants

Elephants have a gestation period of about twenty two months.
They have a varied vegetarian diet, and eat grass, seed pods,
twigs, leaves, and more!
Often a herd of elephants moving through an area will completely
strip it of vegetation, most likely nature making way for new growth.

They will often use rolling in mud to give themselves a coating of
clay to keep out parasites other insects that might latch on to their
skin.
