The description of an elephant from the same encyclopaedia is given below. While it is unlikely t hat you would need or want to write anything quite so technical, look at it carefully and piek out a ny vocabulary from it that could also be useful for you to learn. elephant A large mammal of the family, Elephantidae; almost naked grey skin; massive f orehead; small eyes; upper incisor teeth form 'tusks'; snout elongated as a muscular, grasping 'trunk'; ears large and movable (used to radiate heat). There are two living species. The A fričan elephant is the largest living land animal, with three sub-species. The Asian elephant has four sub-species. The Afričan is larger with larger ears, a triangular tip on the top and b ottom of the trunk tip (not just on the top) and obvious tusks in the female. If you chose to write about another animal, compare your description if possible with one in an English-language encyclopaedia. If not ask a teacher to correct your work.
