African Elephant, Female - Ages 3+
- Elephants are known as being thick skinned. However, their skin is so sensitive, they can even get sunburnt. That is why elephants often throw several layers of mud on themselves. This pleasant "cooling pack" also combats the scorching heat. While elephants cannot hear any better than other animals with their huge ears, they help them to cope with the African heat. When they fan with their ears, the blood cools down and provides them with refreshment.
- Fun Fact: An elephant herd often consists of ten to twelve animals and is led by an experienced female.
- Scientific Facts: Scientific name: Loxodonta africana / Conservation Status: Vulnerable / Global Home: Africa / Primary Habitat: Forest, Savanna, Shrubland, Grassland
- Dimensions: 5.7 x 3 x 3.6 inch (W x D x H)
