No, it doesn’t get through its thick skin.

Yeah, it’s too thick.

Adult elephants usually have very thick skin. The mosquitoes should come to one of the few unprotected places of the body – eyes, ears, mouth or the like – which is unlikely.

I don’t know. But here too, it should be very close. If at all, then probably only larger, tropical mosquitoes would have a chance – nothing that is called in Central Europe mosquitoes.

But they can do something to the elephant:

If a mosquito wants to steal an elephant, then she really has a problem. She can’t just stick through three centimeters thick skin and suck blood. Nevertheless, there are also places on the body in an elephant, the skin is as thin as paper. These are, for example, places behind the ears, in the eyes and in the abdomen. There even small mosquitoes can bite and steal a little blood to a big elephant.

Yes. The name of the skin does not fit, because the skin is hardly thicker than that of the human being

I’m talking about it, of course, and not of that kind.

In certain places you can penetrate and pierce the skin. mosquitoes can affect elephants
