AFRICAN ELEPHANT
Next animal on A is.........
Elephants are the largest land animal on earth, they are slightly larger than the Asian elephant, but Asian elephants have rounder ears. Elephant ears radiate heat to help keep the animal cool, in the humid climate.
Elephants are mammals and are herbivores, elephants also role in water and spray it on their bodies to keep cool.
Male and Female elephants used to use their task to dig for water and food or for stripping bark off trees, but now male elephants use tusks for fighting!
When elephants are in a group it is called a herd.
An adult elephant can consume 300 pounds of food everyday!! WOW Female elephants (cows) live in family herds with their young, but adult males (bulls) tend to roam lonely on their own.

The first animal is the Aardvark.....
Latin:
Orycteropus afer.
Found throughout the land of southern Africa live the species of the Aardvark who with there very keen sense of smell sniff out their favourite food - Termites.
Aardvarks are nocturnal creatures that can live up to 23 years they are also a mammal and an omnivore which eats both plants and other insects or animals.
DID YOU KNOW?...
An aardvark's tongue can be up to 12 in (30.5 cm) long and is sticky to help extract termites from the earthen mounds.
A female Aardvark only gives birth to one newborn every year!!
