ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ziggy (elephant)

Ziggy is a big, gentle animal called an elephant. Elephants are very big and have long trunks that they use to pick up things and to smell really well. Ziggy is very special because he has beautiful white tusks that come out of his mouth. Elephants use their tusks to dig in the ground, pick up food, and sometimes to defend themselves.

Ziggy lives in a place called a zoo, where a lot of people come to see him and take pictures of him. He eats lots of food, like hay and vegetables, and drinks a lot of water. Elephants can eat a lot because they are so big! When he's not eating or sleeping, Ziggy likes to play and take walks around the zoo with his caretakers. He is very friendly and loves meeting new people!

Even though Ziggy is really strong and heavy, he's also very kind and gentle. People who take care of him make sure that he is happy and healthy by giving him lots of love and attention. Everyone loves Ziggy because he is such a special and beautiful animal!
