An elephant is the largest and strongest of all animals. It is a strange-looking animal with its thick legs, huge sides and backs, large hanging ears, a small tail, little eyes, long white tusks, and above all it has a long nose, the trunk.

The trunk is the elephant’s peculiar feature, and it has various uses. The elephant draws up water by its trunk and can squirt it all over its body like a shower bath. It can also lift leaves and put them into its mouth. In fact, the trunk serves the elephant as a long arm and hand. An elephant looks very clumsy and heavy, yet it can move very quickly.
