Sam’s Writing About Elephants
Elephants are mammals. They have very long trunks and ears. An African elephant is the largest land animal in the world; they can grow to be 13 feet and weigh 14,000 pounds. Baby elephants are called calves.
Elephants are very smart and have a good memory. Their brains can weigh up to 13 pounds.
Elephant trunks are very important. They use their trunk to breath, smell, have baths and to eat. They only eat plants that means they are herbivores.
Elephants love to take dust baths. They do this to protect their skin against insects.
