Asian Elephant
(Elephas maximus)
Habitat
Asian Elephants are huge grey mammals inhabiting a variety of tropical forest habitats, adjoining grasslands and scrub in South-East Asia, Sri Lanka, and Sumatra. Their grey colouration camouflages them in their shady habitat.
Diet
Among the largest herbivores in the world, elephants dexterous trunk and large molars enable them to gather and process up to 150kg of vegetation per day, including grasses, leaves, fruit, farm crops and bark. Elephants don’t drink with their trunks, but use them as "tools" to drink with. They can drink up to 200 litres of water everyday. This is done by filling the trunk with water and then using it to pour it into the elephant’s mouth.
