Do elephants have flatulents?

I worked in a zoo for nine years and got to know our three elephants very well.  It is huge when they let one go.  The sound varies just like with humans.  The smell varies as well.  But the amount is very large every time.  It's like those big fans they use to create wind effects for movies.

The Gomphotheres are a diverse group of extinct elephant-like animals (proboscideans) that were widespread in North America during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, 12-1.6 million years ago. Some also lived in parts of Eurasia and Beringia.\n\nGomphotheres differed from elephants in their tooth structure, particularly the chewing surfaces on the molar teeth. Most had four tusks, and its retracted facial and nasal bones prompt paleontologists to believe that Gomphotheres had elephant-like trunks.\n\nExamples of Gompotheres are the extinct genera Platybelodon and Amebelodon.

the mighty elephant has a special foot design. it walks on its tip toes .the elephants foot is designed to step first with his toes then the pad of the foot covers the area that it is stepping on and then take his step this muffles the sound of breaking stick under foot making the elephant very quit as it walk Thur the jungle

Elephants are vegitarians. (aka herbivores)

The second heaviest animal on land is the forest elephant.\n\nThere are 3 different species of living elephants, all as distantly related to each other as horses and donkey. These three different types of elephants make up the three heaviest land animals.\n\nFollowing them come the Northern white rhino and the African hippopotamus, which overlap in size and so can not be separated.\n\nFollowing that are the southern white and black rhinos.

It's rumored that it may have been an elephant!  Circus's traveled that area a lot in those days and stoped at the Loch to let the animals rest and swim!   If you really look at it, it does VERY closely resemble an elephants trunk, head, ears and back...

Why?  Do you want to marry one?  I think we have an elephant asking the question.  Will the human being please turn up!

It must be just a hippopotamus as evidenced by the fact that there are no uncool oppotamuses (oppotami?). One could argue that perhaps there is no such thing as an uncool oppotamus, but then there would be no need to make the distinction (i.e. all oppotami would be hippoppotami.)\n\nCool question, which I have given way too much thought to. LOL

Humans don't have trunks.  Elephants do, though.

Elephants have the equivalent of a radiator or oil cooler in there ear structures - many small blood vessels close to the skin surface - Making a large surface area. They can divert blood to their ears for cooling. By flapping their ears they move more air over the surface to enhance the cooling effect. Their thick hide does not allow sweating so this is there replacement means of not overheating. Me? I prefer a cold beer!!!

Goes back to the ancient days when elephants were used to move a lot of things. One elephant ,one day, refused and its owner went behind the elephant and smacked him in the jewels with a log. After that the elephant was fine. The next day another elephant did the same thing. Its owner asked the elephant if he remembered yesterday. The elephant nodded. The owner then asked the elephant if he wanted to get hit and the elephant shook his head vigorously and behaved himself..We been shaking and nodding the same way ever since.

Because elephants are such slow breeders it would probably take tens of thousands of years , however you can never predict what mutations will be thrown at you ,so not necessarily that long.(a mutation for a 'dwarf' elephant could conceivably arise in the first generation of your bizarre breeding programme for pet elephants)

The average weight for an adult male African elephant is 6 tons or 12,000 pounds. The heaviest ever was 12 tons or 24,000 pounds. Females weigh a bit less. Indian elephants weigh less than African elephants but even a female Indian elephant, the lightest, can easily weigh 9,000 pounds which is 4 and a half tons.

Are you sure it's a pink elephant?\n\nHere's one (http://www.curiousmath.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=11) that uses the same idea but the elephant's not pink.
