Dinner Time!
Elephants are herbivores. Elephants spend 80%-90% of their day just eating. That is about 22 hours just eating. They spend this much time eating because it just goes right through them.Out of all the food they eat they only digest 44% of it. So they do not even digest half of the fruit, tree bark, seeds,branches, leaves, and grass. An African elephant travels a enormous amount to just get food and water. Also, elephants can migrate 7,500 square miles. That a long way to migrate. They eat 300 pounds a food in one day. That is a lot of food in just one day. All of this stuff shows you about what an elephant eats.
