Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth. They have super-strong trunks with nearly 40,000 muscles, can "hear" distant messages through their feet, and are the only mammals that cannot jump. [1, 2, 3]
Super Trunks
- An elephant trunk has no bones, but it has thousands of muscles.
- Elephants use trunks like a hand to grab food, a straw to drink, and a shower to spray water.
- Baby elephants sometimes suck their trunks for comfort, just like kids do with their thumbs!
