Because elephants are so big, they generate a lot of heat. To help prevent overheating, their big ears contain a network of blood vessels. An elephant’s blood cools as it travels through its thin-skinned ears.
Rajan was probably the last ocean-swimming elephant we’ll ever see, which gives the image extra poignancy. As logging bans have increased, using elephants for logging has significantly diminished. I think it still happens in some Asian countries, but it’s a practice that’s thankfully fading. Elephants don’t sink easily and if they do decide to dive, they use their trunks to get air when submerged. They use all four legs to swim, and they can stay in the water for hours before getting tired. With this in mind, swimming is one of the fun activities that elephants engage in.

No, because special defenses within the submerged elephant beyond depends only on density of air, not a density of water. We can clearly observe the pressure at the given that is depending only on density of liquid even though there is any density of air, the atmosphere would have the same impact. Both in saltwater and freshwater both have the same impact. Option D. No, because the bio reinforced on the elephant would be the same in both cases the binding force in the saltwater piece.
I hope you understand the solution. Elephants love water and are great divers. You will often see an elephant sticking its trunk up for breath and disappearing under water for a considerable amount of time. Baby elephants enjoy playing in water.
