An elephant trunk has up to 40,000 muscles. An elephant trunk has up to 40,000 muscles, divided into as many as 150,000 individual units. A human has more than 600 muscles in the entire body.
A fusion of the nose and upper lip, the trunk is an elephant's most versatile tool. Elephants use their trunks to help them suck up water for drinking, pick up or touch objects, trumpet warnings, and greet one another.
In the trunk of the elephants there are also two nostrils, through which the elephants breathe. But the elephants can also soak up up to 8 litres of water into these nostrils and then blow it into their mouth.
Sense of smell
The upper nasal cavities have chemical and olfactory sensors in the form of millions of receptor cells.
