  • The skin of the elephant is not very thick, except around the back and sides
  • The skin is marked with ridged creases resembling warty outgrowths, which is abundant on the trunk and forehead
  • There seems to be an absence of sweat glands in the elephant
  • The natural skin colour is greyish black, but the apparent colour is determined by the soil of the land (this is caused by the elephant throwing mud over its back.
