Elephants are one of the most marvelous creatures walking on our planet. They are the largest land animals on Earth. You can easily recognize them by their characteristic long noses or trunks, large and floppy ears, and wide, thick legs.

Elephants spent most of the day eating. In fact, they spend between 16 and 18 hours per day eating.
