Elephant’s Trunk The Most Remarkable Organ Of An Elephant - ElephantNews #Video

The trunk is the most remarkable organ of an elephant. It is a fusion of the upper lip and the nose, even though it doesn't contain any bones. However, the trunk consists of a highly sensitive nervous system and a large number of muscles, totaling up to 40,000 individual muscles. This makes the trunk soft and flexible, allowing it to easily pick up small objects. If the desired food is located too high, the trunk can reach it effortlessly. Indeed, the trunk is considered one of the most vital organs for an elephant. It serves essential purposes for their basic survival, including breathing, picking up objects, social interactions among elephants, and self-defense against threats and dangers.
