I love your command- ments more than the purest gold. You must love each other as I have loved you. The elephant is one of the most unsual creatures that God made. The elephant's trunk makes him most unique. It is used not only for drinking and bathing but for smelling, breathing, feeling, and grabbing food.
Elephants also use their trunk as a snorkel when crossing deep rivers.
They snack on grass, fruit, leaves, branches, bark, and twigs. Because they are so large and because about 60 percent of what they eat passes through without being digested, elephants spend about 16 hours a day searching for nearly 350 pounds of food. They drink about 18 gallons of water a day and can live up to 60 years.
