After a period of apprenticeship, the elephants participate in work in the forests. They are taught to transport and pile up floating wood and to build houses on piles. They can also in turn transform into teachers for the new elephant arrivals. An elephant is capable of beating down trees, lifting tree trunks weighing one tonne and hauling loads of two tonnes.
