Now that the mammoth is extinct, the elephant is the largest
of all animals living and the strongest. It is a strange-looking animal,
with its thick legs, huge sides and back, large hanging ears, small
tail, little eyes, long white tusks, and, above all, its long nose, called
the trunk. The trunk is the elephant's peculiar feature, and it puts it to
various uses. It draws up water by its trunk, and can squirt it all over
its body like a shower bath; and with it, it picks leaves from the trees
and puts them into its mouth. In fact, its trunk serves the elephant as
a long arm and hand. Elephants look very clumsy and heavy, and yet
they can move very quickly when they like.
