3. Elephants Elephants come from far and wide. We are very lucky to have elephants to make are world more interesting.

4. When The Time Comes When the time comes the female and male elephant are very excited to raise their own elephant. One word for baby elephant is calf. When the calf is born the whole herd of elephants comes up one by one and to touch the baby’s little head with there trunk’s. A herd is a group of elephants that stay together. When a calf is born it has some little red hair on top of its head. The mother can only have one baby at a time and the female elephant has six or seven babies in her life. The calf feeds on its mom for the first three years of its life.

5. Growing More When the baby calf grows a little more after its first three years of its life it starts to eat grass and other plants. By that time they call the little elephant adolescent. By the time the little elephant is a adolescent it will have teeth and by then it can eat plants and by then it will know how to use its trunk to find food.
