An elephant does not drink the water through its trunk though, they blow the water back out of their trunk and into their mouths. The trunk is actually a combination of upper lip and nose. If an elephant actually sucked the water all of the way into its nose through its trunk, it would have the same reflex that we have when we suck water into our nose.
