The World of Elephants

The edition of FACES Magazine is packed with pachyderms—also known as elephants. Get to know these big and beautiful beasts in their natural environments and learn what it’s like to walk in the footsteps of a giant.

FACES Magazine is always full of fascinating facts and this edition on elephants is no different. Whether you’ve ever wondered how much an elephant eats, what the trunk is used for, or the average lifespan, you and your kids will find all the amazing answers here. You’ll see how humans and elephants have learned to live and work together, supporting each other—and where humans have had the opposite effect on the elephant population. Chock full of vibrant photographs, puzzles, pictures, a play, and even a chance to paint your own elephant, this FACES Magazine makes any other pachydermal periodical irr-elephant.
