An elephant and flowering branch on the savanna

The scene centers on a large elephant holding a flowering branch as it crosses the open savanna. The animal, the branch, and the sunny African setting bring together wildlife and the landscape where many elephants live.

How elephants use plants on the savanna

Elephants eat many kinds of grasses, leaves, bark, roots, fruit, and small branches. They can grasp vegetation with the flexible tip of the trunk, then lift the food to their mouth. By breaking branches and spreading seeds, elephants can also change the habitats used by other animals.

Real-life colors of the elephant and its surroundings

  • Elephant skin: usually gray, sometimes appearing brown or reddish after a dust or mud bath
  • Tusks: creamy white or pale ivory
  • Flowering branch: brown or gray-brown wood with green leaves
  • Flowers: white, yellow, pink, red, or purple, depending on the plant
  • Savanna: green during wetter periods and golden tan during drier periods
Questions and answers

Questions and answers

Why does an elephant use its trunk to pick up a branch?
An elephant's trunk is both strong and sensitive. It can pull down vegetation, grasp small objects, smell, drink water, and bring food to the mouth.
Do elephants find enough food on the savanna?
They travel through large areas to reach different plants and water sources. What they eat changes with the season and with the vegetation available in their habitat.
Why can an elephant look reddish instead of gray?
Dust and mud cling to its skin after bathing or spraying. The local soil can temporarily change the animal's visible color.
