Dumbo and friends on Answers
There are 8,862 questions about elephants on Yahoo!7 Answers, on all aspects of their existence, from the saying that they never forget to the length of their tusks. It is amazing to learn that these tusks are actually just extra long teeth that never stop growing throughout their lives.
Elephants really are fascinating creatures. They can swim across lakes and oceans, but they can’t jump in the air. They eat and drink several times the body weight of a human every single day and they have the longest gestational period of any mammal on the planet. They will willingly transport humans and have even been used at war throughout the ages.
There are two distinct types of this amazing animal, found in Asia and Africa. Unfortunately neither has been able to escape the threat of extinction over the years, with so many factors contributing to their gradual decline in numbers. It is terrible to think that these amazing creatures may go the same way as their close relative, the woolly mammoth, to become the yet another creature that existed in days gone by.
If you get the chance, see what other elephant questions you can find on Answers! I’d love to see them!
