Elephants

(Elephants, 2007)

"Elephants live in large groups called herds.Elephants eat large amounts of leaves, grass, fruit and bark. They drink lots of water each day.

A female elephant is called a cow, the male is a bull and a baby elephant is called a calf.A female elephant gives birth to a calf about 22 months after mating. A calf drinks milk from its mother until it is about two years old. All the adults in the group help look after and teach the young elephants."
