What do elephants eat?

Elephants are so large and powerful that adult elephants have almost no natural enemies, or predators.

However, lions sometimes get so hungry that they will attack and kill a full-grown elephant. Usually it is the larger male lions that take on this dangerous fight, and generally it requires several of them to bring an elephant down.

Predators can more easily attack, kill and eat baby elephants—but usually their mothers and family members are watching closely and will not allow that to happen.

As for the question of what an elephant eats: Elephants are browsers, and they eat a variety of leaves and other plant materials.
