I WONDER - What Can Elephants Do With Their Trunks?

Elephants have highly sensitive trunks with around 150,000 muscle units. These trunks are versatile, allowing elephants to perform delicate tasks like picking up a peanut shell and eating the nut inside. They also use their trunks to drink water, holding up to 8 liters, and as snorkels when swimming.
