Elephants are herbivores, meaning that they only eat plant matter. Their diet consists mainly of grasses, leaves, bark, and fruits. In the wild, elephants will forage for food throughout the day, consuming up to 300 pounds of vegetation per day.


Their diet can vary depending on the availability of food in their habitat, and elephants have been known to eat over 100 different types of plants. In areas with limited food sources, elephants will adapt their diet to include woody plants and other vegetation that is less nutritious.


Elephants have specialized teeth and digestive systems that allow them to efficiently process the tough plant material in their diet. They have six sets of molars, which are replaced throughout their lives as they wear down from all the chewing. Elephants also have a long digestive tract and will ferment their food in their large intestine, which allows them to extract as many nutrients as possible from the plant matter they consume.

Overall, elephants are highly adapted to their herbivorous diet and are able to thrive on a wide variety of plant material.

Natural food

Wild elephants will eat as many as 200 plant species during the course of a year, but their preferred staple food is grass and bamboo (which is a kind of grass). Elephants also eat lianas, wild palms, wild bananas, various shrubs, the leaves and bark of certain trees, and even plants that serve as herbs.

Elephants are herbivores and primarily eat grass, leaves, bark, twigs, and fruit. They also eat aquatic plants and occasionally small animals, such as fish, birds, and insects. Elephants need to eat large amounts of food every day to get the energy they need to survive.
