      I’m afraid that I have absolutely no idea. But it is probably a good idea not to call an elephant fat…after all they never forget!

      I not sure either but I don’t think are as fat as you might think. They are big animals with lots of muscles and apparently their intestines are very large which makes their bellies look big!

      I don’t think elephants are fat as such, they are just really REALLY large! I think they have very large bones that they need to support their weight. If they were’nt so talll, they probably wouldn’t look fat. I think I would probably call them chunky instead of fat 🙂
