Based to the text, why must a baby elephant be taught to keep its trunk out of the water?

Elephants can float quite naturally, their noses point downward right into the water. As I said before, the elephant’s trunk is its nose—that is, the elephant has to breathe through the trunk. So of course, if in trying to swim a little elephant kept its trunk down in the water, it would not be able to breathe at all, and would die.

• The elephant’s Papa holds it up by its trunk.

• The elephant’s trunk is used to help it swim.

• The elephant holds onto its Mamma with the trunk.

• The elephant must keep its trunk up in order to breathe.
