Trunk as Tool

Trunk as Tool

An elephant’s trunk is a marvelous tool, acting as hand, arm, nose, spoon, drinking straw, or even a weapon. Its flexibility is due in part to its boneless nature and the number of muscles that make it up: while the human body has around 600 muscles, this trunk contains more than 100,000!
