Question 9
How does an elephant living in the tropical rainforest adapt itself?

Answer 1

Elephants have adapted to the conditions of rainforests in remarkable ways. It has learnt to use its trunk as a nose because of which it has a strong sense of smell. The trunk is also used by it for picking up food. Moreover, its tusks are basically modified teeth. These can tear the bark of trees that elephants love to eat. So, the elephant is able to handle the competition for food rather well. Large ears of the elephant help it to hear even very soft distant sounds. It also helps the elephant to keep cool in the hot and humid climate of the rainforest.
