Elephants
An elephants trunk is a very sensitive organ with over 100,000 muscle units.
The elephant is the largest land mammal in the world. Of all its features are incredible but I think the trunk is perhaps the most extraordinary. It is used as a nose, hand, extra foot, signaling device and tool for gathering food, water, dusting, and digging.
The tusks are another amazing feature for both male and female elephants. Elephants are right or left-tusked, using the favourite tusk more often, thus shortening it from constant wear. Tusks differ in their size and shape; researchers can use them to identify individuals.
