Question

The life span of an elephant that dies from natural causes is about sixty-five years. Of course, anelephant can perish from a number of "unnatural causes"; e.g., it can be killed by hunters, most probablyfor the valuable ivory in its tusks; it can die from diseases that spread throughout an elephant herd; or itcan die from drought or from the lack of food that almost certainly accompanies the inadequate supplyof water.If, however, an elephant survives these disasters, it fans prey to old age in its mid-sixties. Aroundthis age, the cause of death is attributed to the loss of the final set of molars. When this last set of teeth isgone, the elephant die s from malnutrition because it is unable to obtain adequate nourishment. In oldage, elephants tend to search out a final home where there is shade for comfort from the sun and softvegetation for cushioning; the bones of many old elephants have been found in such places.1.
