An elephant can actually squirt water from its snout up to 50 feet. However, this will vary depending on the gender, size, and age of the elephant.

Elephants are prone to taking dust baths. They do this so that they can avoid getting burned under the hot sun. Elephants also take dust baths so they can get any bugs off their hides.
