How is the young elephant fed?

Answer 1

True, they nurse milk from the mother. The mother elephant does not have an udder like a cow, she has two mammary glands or breasts on her chest between her front legs. Somehow the baby is able to keep his trunk out of the way while he reaches up and suckles while the mother stands. Pretty cool.

Answer 2

By drinking milk from its mother...like every other mammal in the world.
