Answers to Questions in "What Is The Answer?" Section:

Why do elephants have such big ears?
ANSWER - The big ears are to help the elephants stay cool. Elephants don't sweat, so they have a hard time dissipating excess heat (keeping cool). Their large ears contain many blood vessels that allow heat to escape into the air. When you see elephants they are usually moving their ears back and forth. This fanning helps to dissipate more heat than if their ears remained still.

Which elephants do you think will have the largest ears? Are they the ones that live in warmer or cooler climates?

Where do sharks live?
ANSWER - "Sharks live in every ocean of the world-from the Arctic to the Antarctic. They are also seen in some rivers and lakes. Worldwide, there are approximately 368 species of sharks...." Visit AquaFacts: Sharks for more details.
