African elephant is the largest animal on earth

African elephants are the largest land animals on Earth.

Trunk
An elephant's trunk is an elongated nose and upper lip used for breathing, drinking, …..
It contains about 100,000 different muscles.

Elephants have a longer pregnancy than any other mammal—almost 22 months.

At birth, elephants already weigh some 200 pounds (91 kilograms) and stand about3 feet (1 meter) tall.

Conservation status: Threatened

African Elephant Ears
Elephant ears radiate heat to help keep these large animals cool, but sometimes the African heat is too much. Elephants are fond of water and enjoy showering by sucking water into their trunks and spraying it all over themselves. Afterwards, they often spray their skin with a protective coating of dust.
