The chances for an Elephant to survive without a trunk are next to nothing. They use their trunk to smell, touch, pick up objects and food, signal each other and bring water to their mouths.
Without being able to do these things, an Elephant would have to rely on a Human or other Elephant to feed them, and they would lead miserable lives.
