Circus

Before the circus we had a meet and greet with some of the performers.
We learned alot about elephant teeth:
1. elephants are born with their first set of teeth.
2.  they have four: two upper teeth and two lower teeth.
3.  they get six sets of teeth in a lifetime.
4.  they are herbivores so their teeth are meant for mashing and grinding
5.  a full-grown adult tooth can weigh 9 pounds or more.
