About Elephants' Trunks
An African elephant's trunk is a muscular, flexible extension of the upper lip and the nose. The tip of the trunk has two fingerlike growths that enables them to grasp food and other small objects. They use their trunks to strip vegetation from branches and to pull grasses from the ground.
