Have you heard that elephants drink water through their trunks? We heard it and decided to find out whether it's true or not. Check out the salvation for this intriguing question!
Elephants are a mystery. So many things are performed with the help of their incredibly long trunks.
Elephants get food using their trunks. This is quite obvious that losing its trunk equals a death sentence for an elephant.
Can an elephant drink through its trunk? No, it can't. Like people can not drink through their noses. Another thing is, elephants can drink with the help of their trunks. They grab some water (it can hold about 5-6 liters of liquid) and deliver it to their mouths.
Thus they can even wash themselves.
An interesting fact: elephants can cross waters walking at the bottom and setting the tip of their trunks above the water in order to breathe.

Elephants are my favorite animals. I think they are very intelligent. Their matriarchal societies are to be admired. I don't believe they feud like human, female relatives do. However, my heart goes out to the juvenile males rejected by the female herd.

Elephants are amazing. They have feelings, can express both joy and sadness, and can remember things for a long time

Saw many of these fascinating animals, close enough to touch on trip to the Serengeti.

amazing, majestic animals. Another sad troubling fact that they are being hunted to extinction for the value of their tusks.

edward goodnow, They are sickening monsters! Very selfish and self centred! The elephants are amazingly intelligent and emotional animals!! They also protect their babies and cry over dead loved ones.

They can also swim through deep water if necessary, in fact have been mistaken for 'monsters' as all that can be seen is the tip of the trunk and the bumps of the head and body looking like a serpent with head and two loops.

Kay Hails, That's true. They are one of only a handful of animals that have an awareness of death.
