Elephants Word Search, free printable PDF preview

A TRUNK has about 40,000 muscles and no bones, and it can pick up a peanut or push over a tree. The rest of the animal is built at the same scale: TUSKS that keep growing for life, a HERD led by the oldest female, a MATRIARCH who remembers where the water was in the last drought. This word find crosses the SAVANNA with a CALF, a TRUMPET call, and the FLAPPING ears that work as radiators.

Frequently asked questions

Do elephants really have a good MEMORY?

Yes. Matriarchs recognize individuals after decades apart and lead herds to water holes they visited as calves, which is why the old ones are the ones poaching hurts most.

Is this elephants word search for young kids?

Second grade and up. GRAZE and CALF are easy; MATRIARCH and WRINKLED take some sounding out.
