英语翻译
How can a creature weighing over 5 tons and normally taking 150 kilograms of food and 120 liters of water per day survive in a desert environment?
In the southwest African country of Namibia,and the Sahara lands of Mali further north,the desert elephant does just that.
Although not regarded as a separate species from the African elephant,the desert cousin differs in many ways.Their bodies are smaller,to absorb less heat,and their feet are larger for easier walking across sandy surfaces.They are taller,to reach higher branches.They have shorter tusks （象牙）,and most importantly,longer trunks to dig for water in riverbeds.
Desert clephants can travel over 70 kilometers in search for feeding grounds and waterholes,and have a larger group of families,They drink only every 3-4 days,and can store water in a “bag” at the back of their throat,which is only used when badly needed.Desert elephants are careful feeders-they seldom root up trees and break fewer branches,and thus maintain what little food sources are available.Yong elephants may even eat the dung （粪便）of the female leader of a group when facing food shortage.
During drought they are unlikely to give birth to their young but with good rains the birthrate will increase greatly.Desert elephants have sand baths,sometimes adding their own urine (尿液) to make them muddy!
As we continue to overheat our weak planet,it can only be hoped that other animal species will adapt as extraordinarily well to change as the desert elephant.
纯手工的加分,

楼上那些翻译也能看么.鬼都知道机器翻译的恐怖.
100%纯手工.沙漠象不知道是不是专业术语,但我们完全可以叫它为这个~开始咯~
作为一种体重超过5吨每天普普通通就吃掉150千克食物喝掉120升水的生物,怎么可能生活在沙漠环境中呢?在非洲西南部的纳米比亚和更偏北的马里撒哈拉沙漠中,沙漠象就这样做着.
尽管并没有被当作非洲象中的一种单独的种系列出来,这些非洲象在沙漠里的兄弟们却跟它们有许多的不同.沙漠象的身体要小一些,以此吸收更少的热量；并且它们的脚要大些,因为要能更轻松的穿越布满沙粒的地表.它们身材更高大,来够到更高的树枝.它们的象牙较短；而最重要的是,它们拥有更长的鼻子,能在河床中挖寻水源.
沙漠象为了寻找有食物的地点和水洞,能够行走70公里以上.它们家族规模更大.每隔3-4天它们才饮一次水,并能将这些水储存在位于它们喉咙背面的一个“袋子”中.这些装在“袋子”里的水在沙漠象很口渴的时候才会派上用场.沙漠象还是非常细心的用餐者-它们极少将树连根拔起,而只是折断很少的树枝.通过这样做,它们能够让那些即便很小的食物来源也能得以保持持续可食用.当面临食物短缺的时候,幼年大象甚至可能进食象群中雌性领导的粪便以续生计.在干旱的时候,非洲象一般不会进行生育；但当遇上大雨时期的时候,出生率会猛增.沙漠象会用沙来淋浴,有时甚至在沙内加上自己尿液来使自己变得泥糊糊的.
当我们继续让我们脆弱的星球变得更热的时候,我们只能期望其它的动物种族也能进行巨大而准确的调整以适应这些变化,就像沙漠象一样.
