The elephants' use their long tusks to strip of bark from trees, digging in the dirt and as a resting place for their trunks. Elephants also have their long trunks to suck up gallons of water and to reach the leave in the high trees. Their ears help them hear predators in the distance.
Elephant need not keep themselves warm because they mostly live in areas which are hot so they need to keep themselves cool.
They keep themselves cool in many ways
Yes. Anytime you can increase surface area of a body part, you can more easily dissipate heat through it, and live in a hotter, drier climate. When you feel cold, you curl up into a ball, and when you're hot, you spread out, right? You're decreasing and increasing your own exposed surface area in order to help control body temperature.
Rabbits for instance that live in colder climates have somewhat smaller ears than those that live in deserts, for the same reasons. In ears, blood vessels are very close to the surface, so cooling that blood there allows the entire body to cool off. Elephants may also use their ears to actively fan their bodies.
by flapping their ears or washing wiith water.
As the ears flap in the breeze, blood is cooled that runs inside the ear flap. The ears are thin enough to allow the blood to cool inside.
== == Any animal that maintains a normal body temp. does, however I'm not sure how they do it. I'm sure that it would be the same as anything else.
its big feet to keep it supported and its trunk to bathe its self
large ears increase surface area so that more heat is lost by radiation
it's ears i guess
There are a large number of veins and capillaries that fan the large ears. As the elephant flaps the ears, the air removes the heat from the elephant. This is every much like how a fan removes heat from a heat sink of the computer processor or a car radiator.
It helps them maintain body heat. They need a body temperature of at least 75oF (25oC) in order to be able to fly.
It's an organism that regulates it's body temperature largely with exchanging heat with it's sorroundings Hope this helps =]
The red thing on top of a chicken's head is called a comb. It is the primary way for chickens to expel body heat. All of a human's skin helps us expel body heat but for a chicken it is only the comb and the skin of its face that expel the heat.
Elephant ears have a very large surface area to volume ratio - with blood vessels spread out throughout. This means that the blood vessels are close to the surface, allowing for heat to radiate out. Elephants can also use their ears to fan themselves with - they are large so create a nice breeze.
Size advantage is one adaptation. It's able to lose heat to survive in such environments. The trunk is the arm of an elephant allowing it to drink and eat.
Its large ears conduct heat!
It helps the body remove heat through sweating
At the first sign of danger they run and hide. Chinchillas are burrowing animals and this adaptation helps them survive by giving them a home that would be difficult for some hunters to get into. Their ears helps them dissipate heat.
Dolphins have blubber under their skin, that helps hold in their body heat.
Elephants. The African elephant has bigger ear flaps than the Indian elephant.
One of the main adaptations that ensures that the body does not lose heat too quickly. It is apart of the Environmental Adaptation as it is how an organism responds to its environment...
Alcohol helps heat escape the body.
yes
by fanning them and the body heat runs to the veins in the ears and is loft cooling the body down
An adaptation is a feature which helps an organism survive in its normal habitat. For example animals which live in the arctic have thick fur to reduce heat loss. The thick fur is an adaptation.
No. On the contrary, sugarcane juice helps hydrate the body. It helps relieve and rehydrate the body due to extreme heat or extreme physical activity. It also helps to bring down body temperature especially during the event that the body is going through a fever.
