An Elephant Grows Up
by Anastasia Suen (Wild Animals series)
Under the hot African sun, a baby elephant is born. The calf looks small next to her mother, but she weighs more than 200 pounds. Her days will be filled with lots of eating—this calf has a lot of growing left to do. What else happens when an elephant grows up?
