forest hut

Loxodonta africana

The largest species of elephant 
The biggest animal on land 
Rolling by the riverside 
On the wet sand

Weighing 6,000 kilograms 
Munching on a branch, 13' tall
Before joining the herd 
With a loud trumpeting call

To keep themselves cool
On their bodies, some mud they smear
Before walking off to the forest
Among the trees, they disappear

But this species is now endangered 
In deforested areas, they can't survive 
We must start conserving 
To keep these giants alive
