Why Elephants Have Thick Legs A long, long time ago, elephants had very skinny, stick-like legs. Since their bodies were so large, they would easily tip over and had to concentrate on staying upright. Since they lived on farms back then and slept standing up, people wandered in and out of the pasture where they slept. There were these young rebelious kids that the people of the town called "hooligans". These hooligans would come by every night and start tipping the elephants over because they loved to cause trouble. Now, we all know that elephants have perfect memories, so they never forgot what happened to them every night. They grew wiser and would stay up at night time to wait for the hooligans to come by. As soon as the hooligans would get close enough, the elephants would kick them as hard as they could. Now, the hooligans weren't very smart and kept coming back night after night. After a few months, the elephants got very strong and their legs grew thick with muscles. They could then stand without tipping over. Until this day, the elephants have thick, muscular legs.
