>This giant animal requires the intake of 150 kg of leaves as food and 180 liters of water every day. Once drinking, the Sumatran elephant can spend 9 liters of water by sucking it through the trunk. In addition to drinking, the animal's trunk also serves to take the object at the end. Sumatran elephant weights generally range from 4 to 6 tons with a body height of 1.7 to 2.6 meters. With its gigantic size, the Sumatran Elephant can roam for 20 km within a day to meet his food intake. Sumatran elephants have a high sensitivity to sounds, this is supported by the size of their large ears. In terms of age, Sumatran elephants living in care are usually able to survive longer than 70 years, compared with those living in wild forests, in general they are shorter because of the many threats that interfere with their survival.
