What do elephants eat?

Elephants are herbivores, and they feed entirely on plant matter. Their diet is at least 50% grasses, supplemented with leaves, bamboo, twigs, bark, roots, and small amounts of fruits, seeds and flowers. Because elephants only digest 40% of what they eat, they have to make up for their digestive system's lack of efficiency in volume. An adult elephant can consume 300–600 lb of food a day. Sixty percent of that food leaves the elephant's body undigested

How much does an elephant eat in a day?

To answer this question, I will let a more highly qualified source (an online elephant encyclopedia) speak in my place:Elephants in the wild consumes grass, leaves and such, with a high  percentage of water, and may eat up to 300 kgs/day. In captivity they  eat about 30 kg hay, 10 kg carrots or similar, and 5-10 kg of bread.  Some zoos give a "breakfast" of different grains, about 3-10 kg. Also  vitamin's, (especially A and D) minerals, (salt, calcium) and trace  elements (such as Selenium) are often added. Depending on the  temperature, they drink from 100 to 300 liters/day. Above 250 liters a  day indicates something is wrong. Elephants suffering from TBC may drink  upto 600 liters. Source: How much do elephants eat and drink?
