An elephant controls its trunk using a complex network of muscles, with about 40,000 individual muscle fibers, allowing for precise movements and dexterity. The trunk functions as a versatile appendage, enabling the elephant to perform a wide range of tasks, from grasping and manipulating objects to drinking water and social interactions. The intricate sensory capabilities of the trunk also provide the elephant with a heightened sense of touch and smell, enhancing its ability to navigate its environment. This remarkable combination of strength and finesse makes the trunk an essential tool for the elephant's survival.
