You might think that since of elephants size they eat other animals, but you are wrong there. A elephant is a herbivore, He mostly eats bark, twigs, leaves grass, fruit, and seeds. But do you know how they get leaves? They could just get some off the ground but they usually take down or rip it out of ground to get it from top. A elephant also spend 22 hours eating a day! That's like 12 lunches in a row! Also talking about how much they eat, they spend 80 to 90% of their day eating. But when they are young not as much they drink their mom's milk for 3 years. Do you know where all the food goes? Well scientists have found out that 44% of grass does not get digested. Thats a lot of non- digested grass. If they eat that much they must travel a lot. Well they have actually found out that a group of African travels 7,500 miles a year! A last tasty fact is that They eat a lot because they need to sustain its body since it does not sleep much.
