Elephant 2
The ears of the elephant are greatly enlarged. The large surface area is
used to emit heat, thus acting as a cooling device. The African elephant, which has larger ears and
tusks than the Indian elephant, also uses the ears as a fan, cooling the skin through a gentle
flapping motion. MORE!
