    FYI:

    Elephants are megaherbivores. They eat up to 300 kilograms (5% to 10% of their body weight) of food each day. To meet their needs, they require 50,000 to 70,000 calories daily.

    Even if they’re eating the cheapest plants you can buy that they can digest, that will still probably be hundreds of dollars per day.
