A Trunc-Tastic Tool

An elephant basically needs its trunk for everything that they do in order to survive. There’s basically no thing that its fantastic trunk can’t do.

The trunk serves as a multi-tool for elephants, essential for breathing, smelling, touching, grasping, and producing sound. As their most versatile organ, it helps them to feed by picking up food, which can range from heavy fruit to tiny blades of grass.

That being said, I’d say that it’s a risk worth taking because of the amazing wildlife experience you’ll have.
