please tell me five or six points on adaptation of elephant
Answers
There are two distinct species of elephants: African elephants (Loxodonta africana) and Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). They both live in hot, somewhat inhospitable environments, with occasional droughts and plenty of predators to threaten prey animals, but their adaptations have helped them to survive these conditions.
Size
Elephants' massive size is a great anti-predator adaptation. Although they're technically prey animals, rather than predatory ones, adults are so large that they're invulnerable to attacks from wild animals. Humans are the only predator that can threaten them. However, baby elephants can be attacked and killed by animals such as lions, tigers and hyenas. To stop calves being harmed, adults in a herd will group the young together and form a protective circle around them.
Trunk
When you're a large creature with a short neck, a trunk is an extremely useful part of your anatomy. Not only does it help elephants to reach food high up in branches, it also allows them to get to food and water on the ground, which they otherwise wouldn't be able to access. Additionally, they use their trunks to make calls and other sounds to communicate with one another and warn their herd about any potential threats.
--elephant has long trunk in order to feed itself and help in other ways
--they don't sweat and hence to cool themselves,they have large ear to flap and helps to stimulate blood to cool down itself
--Elephants use their trunks and their tusks to protect themselves from predators.
--their tusks helps to protect their soft trunk.
--their trunks helps in grasping,drinking water,to smell etc
I hope it helped,hit a thanks!
