The African elephant adapts in Africa. For example, the African
Elehants adaptation is their huge teeth that help them grind and
eat a lot of plant material every day. Another example is they use
their two tusks to dig and fight off enemies. In addition, elephants
dig with their tusks and use them to lift and move objects and to
protect themselves. They tear bark from trees with their tusks to
eat . I think elephants should be pets.
