How an elephant eats food does it use its long white teeth to eat or does it eat with its trunk?

Elephants breathe through their trunks. An elephant uses its tusks (long white teeth) for defense and as a tool for digging or fighting other elephants. It has other teeth inside its mouth that it uses for chewing food before swallowing.
Elephants use their trunks to wrap around limbs, twigs, grasses, and leaves, to tear them off the plant. Then, with their trunk, they stuff the food in their mouth where they chew it up and swallow it.
