Amazing Elephant facts! 
Elephants are very smart and will make tools everyday.  For example, Elephants will move an object to stand on to reach fruit high up on a tree. Elephants have also  been known to use sticks to scratch themselves in areas they couldn’t otherwise reach, and make  fly swatters out of branches or grass. Others have been observed digging a hole to reach drinking water, and then plugging the hole with a ball formed from chewed bark to prevent the water from evaporating, thus saving it for later use.
​Here is a great link to some more amazing facts:
