How Do Elephants Eat Grass

 


How Do Elephants Eat Grass.
Here's a wonderful herd of elephants which are eating grass. You might be wondering how do elephants eat grass, elephants are herbivores meaning that they eat mostly plants and they can consume up to 200kgs of vegetation a day. They spend about 10 to 15 hours a day just eating and the quantity of grass they consume depends on the season and the habitat. They eat more grass in the wet season and when its dry, they eat more tree bark, twigs and leaves. The elephant uses its trunk to bring food up to its mouth. It rips the grass from the ground, dusts it off, and it does that to remove the sand and the stones. Elephants have very clever eating habits.

Angolan Black And White Colobus Monkey in Diani Beach Kenya A wildlife lover deciding to spend a few days at the Diani Beach coastline will be in for a special photography treat. Its one of the few places in Kenya where one can sight the Angolan Colobus Monkey at close range. They are easily identifiable by their black face, black fur and long locks of white hair that surrounds the face and also hangs off the shoulders. Being arboreal, they generally prefer to stay among the tree branches and canopy's feeding on leaves, fruits and flowers rather than foraging on the ground.
