A front view of an African elephant
The elephant stands directly toward the viewer on a simple ground line. Its wide ears extend on either side of the head, while two tusks frame the trunk. The background contains no other animals, objects, or landscape features.
How an elephant uses its trunk
An elephant’s trunk combines the nose and upper lip into an exceptionally flexible organ. It can draw in water, gather food, smell the surroundings, make sounds, and gently touch another elephant. African elephants also use their large ears to release body heat by moving warm blood close to the ear surface.
