NUTSHELL SLIDESHOW
Some still moments from rehearsal and the DC Capital Fringe Festival's Happy Hour at the Palace of Wonders feat. "Are You Ready" by Crash Boom Bang
- It was always thought that there were two species of
elephant in the world -- the African savanna elephant
(Loxodonta africana) and the Asian elephant (Elephas
maximus). But now, through DNA testing, it has been
discovered that there is a third elephant species --
the African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis).
- Most elephants found in Sri Lanka, male or female, have
no tusks.
- Elephants can walk at about 5 miles per hour for hours
on end.
- The trunk has no bones. Nearly 150,000 muscles and
nerves provide flexibility.
- Elephants trunks are an elongation of the nose and upper
lip.
- Tusks are strong and are used for procuring food, but
elephants occasionally snap off a tusk when digging up
roots or gouging fibers out of a tree trunk.
- Tusks continue to grow throughout an elephant's life.
- Elephants appear to have a dominant side and use one
tusk more than the other in food gathering. As a result
of this dominance, the preferred tusk usually has a
blunter tip and a thicker diameter than the other tusk.
- Elephants walk well-worn trails that have been used for
centuries. These trails lead to favorite watering places.
The ability to find water is critical to their survival.
- When elephants charge, they fan out their ears and
either roll up their trunk or hold it to the side to get
it out of the way.
- Elephants often take up to 18 quarts of water into their
trunks at once.
- Elephants place their trunks in their mouths and blow
water down their throats.
- Elephants can also put their trunks into their mouths
and extract water from their stomachs. They spray the
water on themselves in order to cool off.
- Patterns on the bottom of an elephant's foot are as
individualistic as a human's fingerprints.
- Older elephants rarely lie down. It is quite difficult
for them to get up. Younger ellies frequently will lie
down.
- When elephants sit and then rise, they extend their
front legs and rest their weight on their knees. They
then tip forward and heave themselves up on hind feet.
- Elephants often rest by raising one foot and crossing it
behind another.
- Elephants have quite small eyes in relationship to their
size. They have long stiff, eyelashes to protect their
eyes.
- Elephants sniff each other all over when they meet. By
doing this, they are able to recognize one another
individually.
