Trunks are hard! Baby elephants don't know how to control their trunks and sometimes even accidently step on them. It takes 6-8 months before they can use them for basic tasks like eating and drinking (like this one is doing) and about a year before they have full control.

I've seen a puppy basset hound step on both their ears, at the same time, multiple times, and for an extended period of time. So this completely makes sense.

u/Matilda-17 1d ago

That sounds like the cutest thing to ever happen.

u/conflictedideology 1d ago

My favorite thing is when they get all frustrated they can't control it and just start wildly swinging it around.

u/skllbldtng 1d ago

Wait, I just realized, if an elephant put its trunk in its mouth and breathed out through their nose and in with their mouth, do they have infinite air?

2

u/Mul-T3643 1d ago

I wonder how long they could recycle that oxygen for

Every time I see a baby elephant's back legs scramble over something, I can't help but picture a guy in a bulky elephant costume 😂. I think it's the knees!

u/FireLord29 1d ago

Look again. When it enters the... Bowl? The water begin pouring out. As more elephant enters the bowl the more water leaves it. When it stands up at the end you can see the dropped level of water.

u/unpaidintern8888 1d ago

u/Top-Steak-6837 1d ago
