The elephant is the largest animal to walk on Earth. An elephant can carry a load
of 1200 pounds. They eat 300 pounds of food a day. An elephant baby can weigh 200
pounds at birth. Elephants can live up to 70 years.

Elephants can be trained to carry logs with their trunks, and have been used in the
forestry industry in Asia for many years.

Elephants use their ears as a cooling system. Blood flows through veins in the ears
and as the elephant flaps his ears, the blood cools and flows through his body to cool
off other parts.

There are two kinds of elephants: the African elephant and the Indian elephant.
African elephants can be identified by the larger ears. The African elephant grows up
to 10 feet tall and weighs as much as 12,000 pounds.

The Indian elephant grows up to 9 feet tall, and weighs up to 8000 pounds. It's easier
to identify because of its smaller ears. Most circus elephants are Indian elephants.
Another name for the Indian elephant is the Asian elephant.
