and cool now you’re wondering how much
and cool now you’re wondering how much does an elephant need to eat in the day
does an elephant need to eat in the day
does an elephant need to eat in the day well I suppose it depends on how big
well I suppose it depends on how big
well I suppose it depends on how big they are
they are
they are so essentially an elephant needs to eat
so essentially an elephant needs to eat
so essentially an elephant needs to eat about 5% of their body rate body weight
about 5% of their body rate body weight
about 5% of their body rate body weight sorry that’s just roughly and at the
sorry that’s just roughly and at the
sorry that’s just roughly and at the amount so depending on the size of the
amount so depending on the size of the
amount so depending on the size of the elephant would determine but I mean a
elephant would determine but I mean a
elephant would determine but I mean a fully grown elephant bull can eat
fully grown elephant bull can eat
fully grown elephant bull can eat anywhere between 150 and 200 kilograms
anywhere between 150 and 200 kilograms
anywhere between 150 and 200 kilograms of vegetation a day so they’re very busy
of vegetation a day so they’re very busy
of vegetation a day so they’re very busy and they will feed for about 19 hours of
