Key ring elephant 387494

African elephants are the largest land animals on earth. They are slightly larger than their Asian peers and can be recognized by their larger ears. Asian elephants have smaller, round ears. Elephant ears radiate heat to keep these large animals cool, but sometimes the African heat is too much. Elephants love water and love showering by sucking water in their trunk and spraying it over them. Then they often spray their skin with a protective layer of fabric.
