The wonders of the jungle book 1d book

I have just told you that after drinking the elephants jump into the water and have a bath and a swim That is all the grown up elephants do that while the little ones stay on the bank and play about But you may ask why does not the tiger try to grab one of the little ones then Because even when the Mammas go into the water they keep their eyes on the babies who play quite near by so that the Mammas can come to them any minute And the Mammas can smell a tiger a little before he gets there so that they have enough time to climb out of the water Besides the babies themselves can smell the tiger when he is coming then they call out to their Mammas by making a queer rumbling sound in their throats and the Mammas come to them at once before the tiger can get there So all the grown up elephants can go into the water without any worry And at first they have a regular shower bath How do they do that Why each elephant fills his trunk with water The Wonders of the Jungle Book 1A really lovely book for children About elephants water buffaloes antelopes deer camels bears and colorful birds Most of these are from Asian jungles but not all There are descriptions of the animals and their habits as well as a few stories about the animals 91
