Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Most people enjoy mineral water-- perhaps none more so than African forest elephants! At special watering holes, they use their feet and trunks, they dig down into the mud and stir up the clay into a delicious, mineral-filled cocktail. At these watering holes, they can drink up to 190 liters (50 gallons) of water a day!
