Each day they can eat from 100 to 300 kilograms of food and drink up to 190 liters of water.]]> 2019-02-17 20:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/eduardzornada23/qcnpbyihgfay/wish/332158785 eduardzornada23 https://padlet.com/eduardzornada23/qcnpbyihgfay/wish/332158786 The life span of elephants is one of the longest in the world of mammals - about seventy years. During rainy periods, the reproduction rate is higher as the dry conditions result in a lower reproductive rate. After a sketch period of 22 months, one cub of hardly 120 to 130 kilograms is born. Females have cubs every four to nine years.

Accidental death can only occur if the elephant falls down the hill or if it fights with another elephant. Deaths from poaching still outnumber any natural or accidental occurrences of death in elephants.
