It is called a trunk and they use it to feed themselves as they are very large, heavy animals so having a trunk makes it easier to get food out of high up or awkward places. They can also fill it with water and use it to wash themselves or give themselves a drink.

What unique characteristics do mammals with long noses possess that set them apart from other animals in the animal kingdom?

Mammals with long noses, like elephants and anteaters, have a unique sense of smell that is highly developed. This allows them to detect scents from far distances and helps them in finding food, identifying predators, and communicating with others of their species. Additionally, their long noses often serve other functions, such as acting as a snorkel for swimming or as a tool for manipulating objects. These specialized adaptations set them apart from other animals in the animal kingdom.
