★ The bones in an elephant's foot are more closely packed together than other mammals so they do not have the flexibility or spring mechanisms that would enable them to jump.
★ An elephant can smell water up to 3 miles away.
★ An elephant carry up to 2 gallons of water in its trunk
★ Female elephants have a gestation period of 22 months.
★ African elephants only have four teeth to chew their food with.
