Elephant report

We have been learning to write animal reports. First you need a title, then an opening statement,  paragraphs about the animal and a closing statement, I hope you like it.

Elephants

Elephants are large mammals that eat peanuts and they are very big.

Appearance: Elephants have long tusks that grow until they die. Elephants have giant floppy ears, and a huge trunk, a fat grey body, and they make a funny sound. They have big strong legs.

Elephant types: Elephants come in 2 types.The species are the African elephant and the African forest elephant and the Asian elephant. The Asian elephants are often called the Indian elephants. The African elephants are the largest elephants. They have large trunks and ears.

Feeding: When elephant calves stop taking milk from their mother, they become plant eaters or herbivores. Calves stop drinking when they’re three years old. When elephants eat they use their trunk to reach the food off the trees. Sometimes their mothers pull down branches for their babies.

Threats: Sadly the number of elephants in the world has gone down. People have killed a lot of the African elephants. The people who have killed the elephants did it for their tusks. During the 1970s and 1980s lots and lots of elephants were killed.

Did you know that elephants make rumbling sounds to communicate because they can not hear. The rumbles can be heard by other elephants as far as 9km away.
