Elephant trunk is very important organ, without which it cannot exist. It may be called as the lifeline of
an elephant. It is as essential for the elephant as the hands are for us. It is an extension of the nose and
upper lips. They have also developed a heavy head. Since a heavy head cannot be carried on a long neck,
so the elephant need long trunks to reach their food. The trunk has about 40,000 muscles. Because of
such high numbers of muscles, it is flexible and strong. It can lift very huge wooden poles with its trunk
.The tip of the trunk is just like a finger and is so sensitive that it can even lift a needle. It carries its food
to the mouth with its help. It also drink water with the help of the trunk. To take baths it fills water in it,
curls it up and pours that over its back. Thus, we can see how the trunk is very useful for the elephant.
