Elephants Jumping?

Happy Earth Day!

Elephants are fascinating creatures. Scientists have found that the elephant's brain is larger than a human. In fact, an elephant is a very intelligent animal, who can recognize themselves in a mirror and remember things for a very long time. Another claim to fame: elephants are the only mammal that cannot jump. Could you imagine what the ground would feel like if they could jump?

Here are some questions about elephants. Please post your answers as a comment. Good luck.

1. From what language does the word "elephant" originate?
2. Is an elephant a omnivore, herbivore, or carnivore?
3. What is another common name for tusks?
4. In the African Elephant species, who has tusks?
5. How much water can an elephant put in its trunk?

Don't forget Hiki's Drawing Party at 21:00 and Jessie's Earth Day Contest.
