It has four legs, a short tail, two big ears and a long trunk. It has two white tusks8 (teeth). Sadly, people kill elephants because they want their teeth.

Elephants run from bees Some people say that elephants are afraid of mice**. But this isn’t true. Elephants are afraid of9 bees! The people in Kenya know it. When

elephants are hungry, they go to people’s farms. They want to eat. This is very bad for Kenyan people. But the people know what to do. They put beehives (houses for bees) in the fields. The bees fly10 and buzz and the elephants run away very, very fast! This is good for the people and good for the elephants. People will not kill them!
