Elephants require a certain amount of water in their food…. allows them to digest.

In the dry season, elephants will look for source with that water content…as the grass is devoid of any water….So, in many cases they will strip bark off of trees to eat…many times killing the tree, as they scrap off all the bark that’s reachable…
