Answer 1

Answer:

To lessen their body temperature. Elephants flap their ears to lessen their body temperature, to lose some body heat and to become a little cooler. Their ears are big, flat and veiny. Not only the movements make their ears feel a little cooler but also act as fans for their own bodies, especially their heads, which are closer to the ears. Other ways may include, playing or resting in the water or mud, sprinkling water or muddy water on self or on others or resting under trees or shades.
