Young Elephant Tending to Garden Flowers

In a peaceful backyard garden, a small elephant takes care of blooming flowers by watering them. The gentle animal uses its trunk like a flexible hose to splash water directly onto blossom patches.

The Incredible Trunk of an Elephant

An elephant trunk contains over forty thousand individual muscle units, making it both powerful and remarkably precise. Wild elephants use their trunks to drink water, pluck delicate leaves, trumpet warnings, and bathe themselves in cool mud. Learning to control this versatile snout takes young calves several months of daily practice.
