That is one very adorable, sweet sight. The poor baby has just entered the world and is trying to gather herself and trying to understand her own body.
According to the experts, baby elephants don’t learn to control their trunks until they’re about a year old.
The elephant trunk is a combination of the nose and upper lip of its mouth. The elephant trunk acts like both a mouth and a nose. It helps them to do a variety of things like gripping, drinking, smelling, and showing love, says safarisafricana.com.
There are close to 40,000 muscles in an elephant’s trunk and they can smell food and water from up to 19 kilometers away, adds safarisafricana.com.
The video has received a good number of comments. Sharing a few with you.
