ELEPHANTS LIFESTYLE

Elephants Have Sensitive Skin Despite its Toughness
As tough as elephant skin looks, it is very sensitive. Some pests attack it and they have to keep rolling in the mud and soil to prevent the pests from breaking ski.

Elephants Can “Smell” Water
Elephants rarely forget their path and they can detect water sources. They often point their trunks in their air and this helps them smell water particles, and they dig holes in the ground to reveal new springs. This helps the other smaller animals get water. They drink about 18 to 50 gallons every day, but they also like to play in the water and mud.

 Elephant Portrays its Feelings With its Ears
When African elephants are happy, angry, or aggravated, they flap their ears. Elephants have very large fleshy ears that also help to keep the cool. Because of the large surface area, they can get rid of excess body heat from the Savannah sun. An elephant has an impressive ability to hear other elephants even if they are a couple of kilometers away.

Elephants Have Rituals Just Like Humans 
When elephants meet a long lost friend, they dance, flap their ears, and make noise. When one of them falls sick, the rest of the herd brings food. When a member of the head dies, they dig graves and cover the carcass with twigs and branches.

Just Like Humans, Elephants Grow Small Tusks That Fall Off and Permanent Ones Replace Them
The African elephant has permanent and stronger tusks that grow after the first set of tusks fall off. Both male and female elephants have tusks, which are long teeth-like structures protruding from the mouth. Elephant tusks continue growing throughout the life of the elephant. Elephants use these tusks for digging, fighting, and looking for food.

HELB SHOCKER TO THE STUDENTS

Mr. Charles Ringera the Chief Executive Officer has issued a rather controversial order that no graduate will enter the job market without producing the clearance certificate from helb. The policy which is in the making and can be implemented very soon will affect many students in Moi University since majority of students relies on helb for education support. Any graduate who wants to be employs will be recurred to produce a clearance certificate from helb or have a part with K sh 1000 in order to get the certificate to either prove that the graduate is servicing the loan or has cleared it before being allowed to start a job. This rule will apply to both helb beneficiary and non-beneficiaries. The news is not likely to be received by students. How can one be expected to pay the loan without getting the job first? Is helb a help or a hell?

a student wanted to know how the boyfriend would react if she left without telling him where she had gone. So she decided to write him a letter saying she is tired of him and didn't want to live with him anymore and after writing she put the letter on the table in the room and then hid under the bed...   When the boyfriend came back from lecture, saw the letter and read it, he replied on the same paper and then began to sing and dance changing his clothes.
