SUMATRAN ELEPHANTS
The Sumatran elephant’s habitat is in Sumatra, Indonesia. The average male elephant reaches eight feet high and weighs up to six tons. A baby elephant can weigh up to one ton. The males are always larger than the females. They are massive creatures.
Elephants have a trunk, two tusks, two eyes, two ears and two lumps on their head. They are known to be clever animals. When elephants are hot, they fan themselves by flapping their ears back and forth. When an elephant herd wants to move, they use their ears as a guide. Their hearing range is very large. Elephants hear some noises that cannot be heard by a human ear.
Sumatran elephants have enough strength to knock down a tree. They can also pick up a log using just their trunk and their tusks. Their trunk is their nose. They also use it like a hand. Just below their trunk they have their tusks. Only male Sumatran elephants have tusks. A baby elephant is called a calf, the females are called cows, and the males are called bulls.
Sumatran elephants are very social animals. They use sounds to communicate with each other. Sumatran elephants roam around the jungle pushing over trees. As they walk they use their roaring sounds to communicate.
Elephants are very protective of their young. When they are attacked, the older elephants surround their young in the middle of a circle with the bulls on the outside. All of the females are protective of the young. These animals travel in large groups.
Elephants are known to eat a lot of food. They eat anything but meat. They eat bananas, palm tree leaves, and almost any other plant. Because elephants have a tremendous appetite, much of Sumatra’s jungles and crops are being trampled down.

One day a bird was resting in her nest. Soon a fox came along. He wanted to knock the tree down and then would eat the bird. “Please don’t !”
said the little bird. “I’ll give you something else to eat !” She led the fox to the road. Soon two boys came along carrying a basket of food.
The bird hopped in front of the boys. She acted as if she were badly hurt. The boys put their basket down and walked towards the bird. At once Foxy ran over to the basket and ate them all. The bird flew off when the boys got near.
Now Foxy was no longer hungry, but he wanted the bird to make him laugh. So she took him to a farm. There the farmer’s wife was milking a cow. The bird flew down and sat on her shoulder. The farmer tried to hit the bird, but he missed and hit his wife. She fell, knocking over the pail of milk.
