| | | Description: | | A long trunk, tough tusks and big ears are bold features of this lowly leaf-eater. African elephants are the largest of the elephant species, making them the largest land animal. They have four toes on the forefeet and five toes on the hind feet. African elephants live in large clans that splinter off into smaller families. The oldest and largest female is the matriarch who leads the others in the endless search for food and water. Elephants spend as much as sixteen hours a day searching for enough grasses, tree limbs, fruits, and vines. Elephants have a tough but flexible layer of grayish skin, long trunks, and twin ivory tusks. They use their remarkably flexible trunks to communicate with each other through touch and smell. Baby elephants nurse for up to five years. Females stay with their mothers until they're ready to have calves and start their own families. Bull calves stay with their mothers for up to twelve years, but then they break away to live with other males in 'bachelor' herds. Fun Facts: Elephants can consume over five hundred pounds of food per day.

By Gena R Kyle
The baby elephant is just adorable. I use it as a display not a toy. It is very well made and the paint is very realistic. I am very pleased with my purchase.

As Solid as an ElephantMar 24, 2011
By Luke A Purcell
Some toys are made to last, and this elephant falls squarely into this category. Built of seemingly indestructable plastic, the elephant was a pleasure to play with (and served admirably as a paper weight when not in use) and felt very solid in the hand. I was impressed by the level of detail in both painting and sculpture, and was very satisfied with my brief time playing with the elephant before it was gifted on.
