African Elephants live in Africa.
They almost always stay near to a water source and a forest to spend the day in to avoid the hot sun. The African Elephant has always lived in Africa but because of deforestation and poaching, Elephants are forced to live in restricted areas of Africa. Elephants spend 18-20 hours a day eating. They eat 350-400 pounds of food a day. Elephants eat a wide variety of bushes shrubs and trees.
