Elephant 12" L

3482, ELEPHANT, 12''L are anatomically scaled to create the best reproduction of the life size stuffed animal and the most realistic stuffed animal in the industry.

Elephants live in Africa and Asia. They are the largest and most powerful of all land mammals reaching heights up to 13 ft and weighing up to 14,000 lb. They eat about 500 lb of grass, foliage and other vegetation a day. They can also drink about 36 gallons of water at a time. Elephants have a long lifespan, living up to 70 years old. Their tusks are actually ivory teeth that continue to grow throughout their lives.

• Not only is the mother responsible for the care and protection of a baby elephant, but so are other females in the herd called aunties.
• Elephants can sing! They use extremely low, ultrasound frequencies are not perceptible to human ears. They sing when they want to keep their herd together and look for mates.
• The elephants spend most of the day (16 hours) eating. In addition, an average elephant drinks up to 40-50 gallons of water per day.
• Duration of their sleep is only 2 hours a day.
• They are fond of bananas! Moreover, before eating, they rind bananas as well as corn and other food.
• Water is an important component of elephants’ lives. They not only drink water: they swim, play in it and pour it on each other.
• Unlike most animals, elephants use their trunks to drink water. They suck it up into their trunks and squirt it into their mouths.
