An elephant is capable of swimming 26 miles a day, if needed. Some Indian elephants swim this much to feed on tigers.

This answer needs help.

1. Elephants do not feed on tigers.

2. There is no source quoted for this answer. Given the absurdity of the second statement, perhaps the author meant 260 miles day...or 2.6.

While migrating with their young, only about 10 miles a day, and not far enough to outpace the poachers.
The distance an elephant walks in the wild can vary greatly and is primarily influenced by the availability of food and water. Asian elephants are jungle animals, usually they have abundant food and water nearby, so they cover a limited distance on a daily basis. African elephants live in a variety of habitats and frequently need to cover greater distances in search of food and water, particularly on a seasonal basis. They have been documented travelling as far as 50 miles in a day, but this is definitely the exception. Typically they will walk several miles in a day, generally spending much of their time near a water source.

Elephants in the wild are very active. It is common for an elephant to walk between 30 and 50 miles in just one day.
