Giants in danger

            Elephants need a lot of water. Grown-ups drink as much as 50 galloons (189 litres) a day. The animals use water in other ways as well. After they have had enough to drink, they fill their trunks (хоботы) and spray their bodies. The showers cool the elephants. Leaving the water hole, the elephants join small family groups resting under the trees. Elephants rest only during the hottest part of the day and for a few hours each night. The rest of the time they eat. In fact, elephants spend about 16 hours a day eating.

            Today many elephants in Africa are dying because they do not have enough to eat or to drink and because they do not have enough space to live in.

            Hunters kill thousands of elephants every year. Some kill them for meat. But most kill elephants for their ivory tusks (бивни).

            Most of elephants have gone to national parks. There are too many animals there. As a result, the elephants do not have enough grass and leaves to eat.

            All these problems have greatly reduced the number of elephants in Africa. Specialists think that only two million elephants live on the planet today.

            Maybe some day you will help to find the way to save them.
