Mikah's epic elephant enclosure


I read a text about elephants and I learned what they need in an elephant enclosure.  They need water, trees for  shelter, mud for relaxation and cooling down.  They need a warm sleeping place that does not have concrete, otherwise they will get infections in their feet.  This what made the last elephant in the zoo really sick and then it had to be put down. I thought about what they needed first and then I imagined it in my mind, which gave me the ideas for drawing.  Then I drew it on paper and used the I pad to capture it.
