Did You Know That Elephants Eat Tree Bark? | Indian Elephant Food Habits

Did you know that elephants eat tree bark? Indian Elephant Food Habits! Yes, Elephants can eat tree bark, using their tusk to peel it off. Tree bark is a favorite food source for elephants. It contains calcium and fibers, which aids digestion. Indian elephants may spend up to 19 hours a day feeding and they can produce about 220 pounds of dung per day while wandering over an area that can cover up to 125 square miles. This helps to disperse germinating seeds. They feed mainly on grasses, but large amounts of tree bark, roots, leaves, and small stems are also eaten. Cultivated crops such as bananas, rice, and sugarcane are favored foods as well. Since they need to drink at least once a day, these elephants are always close to a source of fresh water. #elephant #treebark #indianelephants ========================= Please Do Like 👍 Share ↗️ Comment and Don’t ❎ Forget to Subscribe to the Channel for the latest song’s lyrical video.. thank you......
