Asian elephants are one of the biggest land animal that eat vegetable, which means they are definitely '''herbivores'''. They spend time 15 hours to 18 hours to eat and they eat around 250 kg fodders in a day. They eat many things by seasonally, and vary in different localities. They eat fruits of trees, shrubs, and wood apples etc. [http://www.thaifocus.com/elephant/anatomy.htm] However, their digestive system is inefficient, so they digest their food only 40%.

<br /><br />'''Danger'''<br /> | |||
Asian elephants are not brave, especially Indian elephants. Mostly they avoid their enemies instead of attacking them. However, when female elephants are with calves they are extremely dangerous to every living things. When they get mad at something, they make their trunks tight and curled up, then trample the victims with their knees or feet. When male elephants get mad, they hit the victims with their tusks. Especially, when male elephants estrus, they are super dangerous to other animals, even their fellows. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_Elephant] | |||
