Majestic Kaziranga elephants enjoy wet grasslands and food

From the archive record

Kaziranga elephants enjoying wet Grasslands and grazing through the field for food. They can be seen splashing water on each other and having grass and roots for food. The elephant is playing with food by making a powerful movement with its trunk. Indian Elephants always catch the attention of every onlooker, but just like Tigers and Lions this animal has also come under threat of extinction. Asian elephants eat grass, bark, roots and leaves. They also like crops such as banana grown by farmers, making them a pest in agricultural areas. Adult elephants eat about 330 pounds of food a day. They must drink water every day and are never far from a water source.
