National Geographic | The Life of Elephants | Documentary Africa

Elephants are large animals, and they live in many parts of the world, including Africa. Most countries in Africa, including South Africa and Kenya, are home to one or more elephant species. The pachyderms, commonly known as elephants, spend their days searching for food and taking care of their young. While the pachyderms are moving, they carefully place one foot in front of the other, keeping their balance. Elephants eat a variety of foods. Elephants' diets consist mainly of leaves, grass, and bark, although they will eat fruit and vegetables. Elephants can consume 300-600 pounds of food per day.  

Africa. Vast savanna, seemingly endless deserts, and invading rainforests span the entire continent. Each region is dotted with  unique wildlife, from elusive leopards to delicate gazelle-like bongos. 

The adult male savanna elephant, the world's largest terrestrial mammal, weighs about 12,000 pounds and stands about 10 feet on its shoulders. A small forest elephant weighs at most 10,000 pounds. And unlike the curved fangs of the savannah elephant, the forest dwellers are small and straight to navigate the route through dense foliage. Both elephants have the same hardcourt (the Latin name for the elephant is "pachydermia" or "thick skin"). However, while their skin may be durable, elephants still need protection from insects and the hot African sun. Indulging in a mud bath cools the elephant and adds a layer of protection.
