Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:The elephant is the largest of all living animals and the strongest. It is a strange – looking animal, with its thick legs, huge sides and back, large hanging ears, a small tail, little eyes, long white tusks and above all, its long nose, called trunk. The trunk is the elephant’s unique feature, and it puts it to various uses.It draws up water by its trunk, and can squirt it all over its body like a shower bath; and with it, it picks leaves from the trees and puts them into its mouth. In fact, its trunk serves the elephant as a long arm and hand. Elephants look very clumsy and heavy, and yet they can move very quickly when they like. Elephants are found in India and Africa.The African elephant differs in some points from the Indian counterpart, being larger, with longer tusks and bigger ears. In fact, the two are considered to be different species. In both countries, they live in herds in the jungles and are naturally shy animals who keep away from humans. Elephants with their great size and strength, are a fine advertisement for vegetarianism, for they live entirely on leaves of trees, grass, roots and bulbs.The elephant is a very intelligent animal, and its intelligence combined with its great strength, makes it when tamed, a very useful servant to man, and it has been trained to serve in various ways. Elephants can carry heavy loads and they are used to draw heavy wagons and big guns that would require many horses. They are very skilful too in carrying timber. The trained elephant will kneel down, lift a heavy log of wood with its tusks, carry it to the place where it is wanted, and lay it exactly in position.In olden days elephants were used in battles, and all Indian Rajas had their regiments of trained fighting elephants. And they still have their place in state processions, when they are painted in bright colours and covered with silk and velvet clothes.1. How does an elephant look like?2.
