| Description |
This week we celebrate Elephant Appreciation Day on 9/22. Because elephants are cool! Here are a few reasons why.
-They "hug" their trunks to say hello to each other.
-An elephant's trunk weighs 400 pounds, but it can pick up things as small as a single grain of rice.
-Elephants can recognize themselves in the mirror. They join humans, apes, and dolphins as the only animals with self awareness.
-They are afraid of bees. Farmers even use beehives to deter elephants from coming onto their land.
-Elephants can have babies until they're 50 years old.
-Elephants are pregnant for 22 months — it's the longest gestation period of any mammal.
-Elephants are born blind.
-They also weigh up to 260 pounds at birth
-The oldest elephant lived to be 86.
-Elephants have no need for mascara — their eyelashes can be up to 5 inches long.
-They are extremely emotional creatures — elephants even grieve lost family members.
-The elephant's closest living relative is the hyrax, which resemble "a large guinea pig with a grouchy-looking overbite."
-They're the only mammals that can't jump — even when they're running, elephants always have at least one foot on the ground.
-Elephants yawn.
