00:50	how you two could be featured on one of our

00:59	video , we are learning about elephants . Okay ,
01:03	let's start here . What are elephants ? Well ,
01:08	elephants are huge mammals that have a long trunk and
01:12	big ears . Oh , look at this elephant .
01:16	Taking a walk through a field . We mentioned the
01:19	elephants are huge . And when we say they are
01:21	huge , we are not kidding . In fact ,
01:24	african elephants are the largest land animals in the world
01:29	. Okay . And you might be wondering just how
01:31	big are african elephants ? It's incredible . African elephants
01:38	can get as tall as 13 ft and can weigh
01:42	as many as £14,000. That is massive . Mhm .
01:51	So if anyone ever asks you , what is the
01:54	largest land animal in the world , you know what
01:57	to tell them ? Mm The African elephant , how
02:01	big can they get ? As many as 13 ft
02:04	tall and £14,000 in weight . So elephants are massive
02:09	and African elephants are so big , they are the
02:12	largest land animals in the world . Mhm , mm
02:17	. Okay , but where can you find elephants living
02:21	in the wild , Do you know ? Okay ,
02:27	why are we showing an elephant in a neighborhood ?
02:29	Okay , this is not the natural habitat of an
02:32	elephant . Okay . 11 neighborhoods . Where in the
02:36	world can you find wild elephants in their natural habitats
02:41	? All right . We can work with this .
02:43	A world map . Now , let's look at the
02:45	world map to find out where elephants live in the
02:48	wild . Well , elephants live in the wild in
02:51	parts of Africa , South Asia and Southeast Asia .
02:56	Let's say those places again . And make sure you
02:58	look at where they are on the map , elephants
03:01	live in the wild in parts of Africa , South
03:04	Asia and Southeast Asia . This next fact is a
03:11	fact you're going to want to share with someone .
03:13	Okay , check this out . A group of elephants
03:18	is called a parade . Isn't that a neat name
03:21	for a group of elephants ? A group of elephants
03:24	is called , uh , uh , parade . Now
03:31	, if you ever see a parade of elephants ,
03:34	you're probably going to see baby elephants in the parade
03:38	. Do you happen to know what baby elephants are
03:41	called ? Yeah , baby elephants are called calves .
03:47	Can you say that word ? Cavs ? Baby elephants
03:51	are called calves . Now we are going to talk
03:57	about a very special part of an elephant's body called
04:01	the trunk . The long trunk of an elephant is
04:05	super helpful here . You can see an elephant using
04:08	its trunk to eat . That is how an elephant
04:11	brings food to its mouth using its trunk . An
04:14	elephant couldn't survive without its trunk . You see elephants
04:21	use their trunks to bring food and water to their
04:25	mouths . They also use their trunks to breathe and
04:28	to smell the trunk of an elephant . Not only
04:30	brings food and water to an elephant's mouth , but
04:33	it also functions as their nose . Elephants also use
04:37	their trunks to give themselves baths and more elephant trunks
04:41	are so important to the elephants . Speaking of baths
04:47	, elephants give themselves something called a dust bath .
04:51	Uh It might seem strange to us . Right .
04:53	Why would an elephant give itself a bath with dirt
04:57	? But dust baths are a great way for elephants
05:00	to help their skin and to fight against nasty insects
05:04	called parasites . Isn't that awesome ? Mhm . For
05:10	an elephant taking a dust bath is a smart thing
05:13	to do , Which shouldn't be surprising because elephants are
05:17	incredibly smart . They are incredibly smart . In fact
05:23	, elephants have a larger brain than any other land
05:27	mammal . That's right and their brain can get as
05:31	big as £13.13 pounds . Imagine a £13 brain ,
05:39	wow ! Elephants are so smart and their brains are
05:42	so huge . Mm . That is why elephants are
05:49	famous for their incredible memory . Elephants have an amazing
05:54	memory . They can remember places other elephants , things
05:58	that happen to them . They can remember people .
06:01	They have an amazing memory . Next time you have
06:04	a test you could think , wow I wish that
06:07	I was an elephant . It was able to remember
06:09	so much so easily . But as people are ,
06:12	memory isn't as good . We've got to work really
06:15	hard for it . But elephants can remember incredibly well
06:20	. Okay it is time for our final elephant fact
06:24	and it has to do with what elephants eat .
06:28	And the fact is this elephants are herbivores . Now
06:32	what's a herbivore ? Mhm . Uh huh . Herbivores
06:37	are animals that just eat plants and that's what an
06:41	elephant is . An elephant is a her before .
06:44	An animal that just eats plants . They don't eat
06:47	meat . Do you like to eat plants ? Mhm
06:51	. Cool . Plants are tasty and healthy too .
06:59	Hey , what was your favorite elephant fact ? Yeah
