What do elephants like to eat?

Elephants are herbivores, which means they only eats plants. Because elephants are so large, they need to eat a lot of plants in order to feel full.

Elephants can spend up to 16 hour a day collecting and eating leaves, twigs, bamboo, and roots.

An adult elephant can eat around 500 lb of food everyday and drink around 50 gallons of water per day.

They eat much more than they can digest and can only make use of 40% of the food they consume.
