An elephant is like a giant living stuffed animal that you might have in your room. It has a big, long nose called a trunk that it uses like you use your hands. Imagine if your teddy bear could pick up toys with its nose! Elephants are very strong and can carry heavy things, just like a superhero.

Think of an elephant as a walking mountain. It’s huge and moves slowly but gracefully. Its ears are like big, flappy fans that help it stay cool in the hot sun. When it gets too warm, it can flap its ears to feel a breeze, just like you might use a paper fan.

An elephant has big feet that are like soft pillows. Even though it is large, it can walk quietly because its feet are cushioned. It can walk through the forest without making much noise, just like a ninja! Elephants are very smart and can remember things for a long time, like a wise old storybook character.

Elephants live in families called herds. They love to play and splash in the water, just like you do in a pool. They care for each other and help one another, just like how you help your friends at school.
