The males travel in groups, but they

are not as close as the family groups. Males

often move from one herd to another. A

herd wakes up at 4:00 in the morning. The

elephants want to start grazing before it

gets too hot. They walk to a water hole and

drink.

The herd walks and eats about 16

hours per day. They eat grass, leaves, bark,

and fruit. Sometimes they stop and take

naps. At midnight the herd stops for the

night. All the elephants lie down and sleep.

Some of them snore.
