Elephants are herbivores eating grasses, shrubs, flowers, fruits, and bark.
This makes them very useful workers in the jungle. Elephants chew their food with 4 molar teeth which wear out and are replaced 6 times throughout an elephant's life. When the last set of teeth wears out, the elephant can no longer chew and eventually dies. Habitat destruction and ivory poaching have endangered the Asian elephant. Currently, there are only about 40,000 Asian elephants remaining.
