This past week, we've had to make a report about something we know lots about. I chose to do mine on Elephants because I think they are a very important and fascinating animal. What would you do yours on?
Elephants
Elephants are a native animal to Africa. They habitat in wetland, forest, grassland, savannas, and deserts. Elephants don’t really have predators, Humans are their greatest danger. Some cruel humans kill elephants just for their tusk which is leading to extinction.
Elephants like to habitat anywhere wet. The elephants like to bathe in mud and wet areas. You could find them in wetlands, forest, grasslands, savannas, and deserts. Because they get very hot carrying around all that skin. Fun fact their skin is 2.5 centimeters thick. The folds, and wrinkles in their skin can retain up to ten times more water than flat skin does, which helps to cool them down. They keep their skin clean and protect themselves from sunburn by taking regular dust and mud baths.
Elephants don't have particular predators, but humans are very determined to hunt down elephants to get the tusks. Humans like their tusks because they contain Ivory and you could sell them for half a million dollars. Some states it's illegal to sell ivory, but it's really not nice to kill elephants to kill a whole elephant to sell their ivory.
Fun facts: Elephants have a lifespan of 50-70 depending on their breed. Most elephants also have a very good memory. They can remember the day they were born. Baby elephants are called a calf. They also can stand up within 20 minutes of birth. In conclusion, Elephants are very intelligent animals, they are one of the most human-like animals apart from monkeys. Their diet consists of eating roots, grass fruit, and barks, and they eat a lot of these things. An adult elephant can consume up to 300 pounds of food in a single day.
