"A baby elephant sucks on its trunk like a human baby sucks its thumb. True or False?

True! A baby elephant uses its trunk for sucking — as well as for smelling, drinking, and feeding itself. A baby elephant is called a calf. The mother — and other females in the herd — take very good care of the calves. They protect the calves from tigers-their worst enemy. The calves play with other young elephants and seem to enjoy splashing water and rolling in dirt or mud. A calf usually stays with its mother for at least three years.Elephants care for their babies longer than any other animal — except humans."
