Elephants – Order: Proboscidea
Rabbits and hares – Lagomorpha Three characteristics that mammals have middle ear bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) to assist with hearing. All mammals have hair at some point in their development which functions as insulation, coloring, and aiding in the sense of touch. All female mammals produce milk to nourish their offspring. Elephants require huge amounts of food over 400kg per day. Elephants are capable of pushing down large trees in order to get their foliage and bark. They live long lives (60 to 70 years old). They have an excellent scent of smell, but have poor hearing and sight. In some parts of the world elephants are use as a beast of burden.
