How many kg of vegetation can an adult African elephant eat in a single day? (1 kg ≈ 2.2 lb)
Answer
150 kg
That's roughly the weight of two adult humans in grass, bark, and leaves — every day. Elephants spend up to 18 hours a day eating and digest only about 40 percent of it, which makes their dung a feast for entire ecosystems.
