Answer:

Elephant- Land, Dolphins- Water, Hummingbirds- Air

Explanation:

Elephants consume grasses, small plants, bushes, fruit, twigs, tree bark, and roots. Tree bark is a favorite food source for elephants. It contains calcium and roughage, which aids digestion. They do not chew cud, ruminate or belch as ruminant animals (e.g. cattle, bison, goats, deer) do. Instead they produce methane gas – LOTS AND LOTS OF GAS. Properly equipped, a car could travel 20 miles on the amount of methane produced by one elephant in a single day.

While some dolphins eat fishes like herring, cod or mackerel, some others eat squids or other cephalopods. Even more, large dolphins like killer whales, eat marine mammals like seals or sea lions and sometimes even turtles. Usually, the amount of fish that they eat depends on the kind of fish that they hunt. When we eat, enzymes in our mouths help with breaking down the food as we chew it. ... Dolphins on the other hand don't chew their food. The Dolphins use their teeth to just tear and grab their prey. It goes straight down their esophagus to their stomach where digestive juices break down the prey.

Flowers, perches, insects, and water are the key ingredients to a healthy yard that will attract these amazing jewels. Hummingbirds are specialized for nectar-eating, evident by long bills and grooved tongues ideal for probing flowers. Sugary nectar supplies fast energy and makes up 90 percent of a hummingbird's diet. Their bodies are actively digesting. A hummer has a tiny stomach and a crop, the little storage pouch in their esophagus. They digest food quickly. It takes about four minutes to drain about half the nectar into the stomach and intestines.
