Schleich Wild Life Asian Elephant Cow, Elephant, Wild Animal, Toy Figure, L 13 cm, 14753

Elephants have extremely flexible and strong trunks with 150,000 muscle fiber bundles. African elephants have two "grasping fingers" at the tip of their trunks, while Asian elephants have only one. An elephant's trunk is as versatile as a Swiss Army knife. Not only does it smell very well, it also sucks up water, holds on, lifts trees, or throws cool mud at itself. To eat, the elephant grasps leaves and grass with its trunk, plucks them from the tree, and puts them in its mouth. A fully grown animal can eat up to 150 kilograms of greenery a day. Elephants can even produce human-like words with their trunks. To do this, they put their trunks in their mouths and place them on their tongues.

Interesting facts
With their trunks, elephants can move objects weighing up to 300 kilograms.
