snort, leave me be
One day Rabbit was taking a walk through the jungle and ran into Elephant, who was making a fine meal of the treetops. "Hello, brother," said Rabbit. "Fine day, isn't it?" Elephant paused to look down at the tiny little creature at his feet and snorted. "Leave me be, Rabbit. I don't have the time to waste on someone so small."
I know "snort" means "to take air through nouse" but I can't understand how elephant snorts.
Also please tell me what "leave me be" means in this context.
