Core Elephant Needs. Like most animals, elephants require food, water, shelter and veterinary care, but elephants have other core needs that are sometimes overlooked, ignored or dismissed. Space. In the wild, elephants inhabit very large home ranges and walk considerable distances every day. Their home ranges can be from several hundred sq km up to 5,000 sq km or more in size. For most people, this huge space is difficult to imagine.
Elephants are the largest animals on land! When they are born they weigh between 200 and 250 pounds. Thatâs more than most adult people! From there they keep getting bigger! Adult male elephants can reach weights of six to eight tons! Thatâs between 12,000 and 14,000 pounds! Most cars weigh about two tons, so you can imagine elephants are very heavy! They can reach heights over 13 feet tall. To be that big and stay healthy, elephants need to eat hundreds of pounds of food and drink about 50 gallons of water every day! They can spend up to 16 hours every day just eating and finding food. Luckily for the other animals, elephants are vegetarians.
