Elephants consume 300-600 pounds of food a day and drink up to 50 gallons of water, sucking water up into their trunk and blowing it into their mouth. They also use their trunks as a built-in shower - but certainly don't stay "clean" for long. Elephants quickly cover their wet bodies with dirt and mud, which serves as a protective coating from insects, moisture loss, and the powerful African sun.
