If you need me, I can be reached at the address below. There are two different kinds of elephants. The African Elephant has two little finger-like things that stick out at the end of it's trunk. These help the elephant feel for food and pick up small things. Both the boy and the girl African Elephants have tusks.
Tusks are like really long pointy teeth that stick out from the upper jaw.
The Asian Elephants are a bit smaller than their African cousins. They grow to be about 20 feet long including their trunk. Asian Elephants have only one little finger-like thing at the end of their trunk, and only the boys grow tusks. When a Mama elephant is going to have a baby, it takes 22 months for the baby to be born. Elephants are the biggest and strongest animals that live on land, but they are very gentle.
