How do elephants help insects?

An elephant can help insects in a number of ways, including pollinating plants. Many insects are attracted to elephant dung, where they lay eggs. An elephant's large size and weight causes the ground to shake when it walks.

This shaking causes vibrations in the ground which can affect other organisms. In the case of plants, the vibrations help to loosen the seeds from the soil. In the case of insects, the vibrations can help to loosen soil from the walls of their burrows.

Elephants help to create new habitats for smaller animals by knocking down trees and helping to create new homes for insects, birds, and other animals.
