      <![CDATA[elephants can eat whole or eat parts of some pretty big trees. they'll knock em over, and then eat leaves, younger branches (which to us might look big), and bark. the african ones are the environmental engineers that are responsible for keeping much of the african savanna a savanna (open, not thickly forested).<br />
<br />
so the xmas tree snack seems to fit.
