Greetings, and welcome to the tenth episode of Animals Galore! On this special episode, We're going to take a look at the largest living land animal, the African elephant. Because of their size, an elephant must consume an enormous amount of food to survive. An adult can eat up to 600 pounds in a single day. Lucky for us- -they're vegetarian. Elephants are the only land animal that cannot jump. They are so heavy, that they can't lift all four legs off the ground at the same time. Elephants will often throw dirt on themselves with their trunks. These are dust baths, which act as a natural sunscreen for their sensitive skin. An elephant's trunk is actually a fusion of its nose and upper lip. The trunk is made up of 40,000 individual muscles, whereas a human's entire body contains a mere 639! With a nose that strong, they must have a great sense of smell! As a matter of fact, they do! Elephants can smell water from up to three miles away.
True or False: Elephants are afraid of mice. The answer is false, this is nothing more than a popular myth. However, elephants are terrified of bees and I can definitely see why. BARRY: "You like Jazz?" Luke: (Shudders in disgust).
