African Elephants

African Elephants are the largest living land animal. Their skin is a dull brownish-grey with scattered black bristly hairs. African Elephants have large, flat ears, and both males and females have tusks formed by large incisor teeth in the upper jaw. Their long, muscular trunks are used for drinking, eating, digging, and grabbing. They can also be used to spray water over their bodies to cool down, and to throw dirt on their backs to protect them from the sun.
