Rufus….Heckery Dekkery Dog Traveling Reporter at Large
“I will always dig for the truth and report it back to you”!<\/p><\/div>\n


\nThe Elephant<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h1>\n

Elephants are vegetarians so they do eat their vegetables.\u00a0Rufus is not exactly a vegetarian, but he sometimes eats plants and grass when he has a tummy ache. Elephants, however, eat\u00a0only plants and grass whether their tummies hurt or not. Their long trunk can be used to pick up objects, to sound warnings and to greet other elephants! It can also be used as a hose for drinking water and bathing. Rufus thinks bath time would be a lot more fun if an elephant could rinse him afterwards! Can you imagine?<\/p>\n

Elephants like to rest during the day when it\u2019s hot and only lie down for a few hours at night. You may have noticed how big they are, too! African elephants grow up to 13 feet tall at their shoulder, and weighing up to eight tons, they are the largest land mammal in the world! Their Asian relatives grow up to 11 and a half feet tall at their shoulder. Even a newborn baby elephant is about 3 feet tall and weighs\u00a0(Are you sitting down?)\u00a0<\/i>about 200 pounds! How much do you weigh?<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, what\u00a0BIG<\/strong>\u00a0ears elephants have, and\u00a0BIG<\/strong>\u00a0teeth, too,\u201d Rufus exclaimed! By the way, Rufus, those big teeth are called tusks. And, you are correct, elephants do have\u00a0BIG\u00a0<\/b>ears!
