Baby elephants, called calves, are born very small at 3 inches tall but can grow up to 13 feet tall and weigh over 24,000 pounds. Elephants eat hundreds of pounds of plants per day and drink over 30 gallons of water. Rabbits can range widely in size, from 1 to 30 pounds for domestic rabbits, while wild rabbits are typically smaller at 2-3 pounds and about 16 inches long. The author researched habits of elephants and rabbits by persistently seeking information through written notes and computer research.

5. Habits of mindThe habits of mind I used were being persistent. I think I used this habit of mind because I kept looking for information even when I thought I would never find what I was looking for .I also think I was gathering data through all senses. I was doing that by writing down all my data and typing it up on the computer.
