Description

A visit to the Smithsonian National Zoo is always fun. As a photographer, I never know what that great photo is going to be. We don't know what animals will be entertaining the onlookers. This day, this beautiful Asian elephant was the entertainer. Then all of a sudden, nature calls. Wow - that's a lot of relief. I don't think this beauty knew he/she was being photographed. Ooops. All of us onlookers were amazed at the amount of urine that was coming out of this beauty. Hey - "peeing" is a part of life. It's part of learning all aspects of an animal. Did you notice, this fella was smiling as well as continuing to eat? So, how much does an elephant pee in one day? Depends upon how much water they drink. On the average, 50 gallons a day. Phew....that's a lot!!

Did you know the elephant is Earth's largest land animal? Though, the Asian elephant is slightly smaller than its African cousin. Asian elephants can be identified by their smaller, rounded ears and their back is more rounded so that the crown of their head is the highest point of the body.

Elephants are highly intelligent and long-lived animals; Asian elephants may live as long as 70 years, in captivity at least six. They are extremely sociable and occur in groups of related females, led by the oldest female known as the 'matriarch'.
