In this sentence the plurality of हाथी is indicated in the plural form of the verbs खाते हैं . If we were just talking about one elephant, it would be हाथी बड़े केले खाता है .
This is similar to English words with identical singular and plural forms, like "sheep". "My sheep eats apples" would refer to a singular sheep, but "my sheep eat apples" would refer to multiple sheep.
