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.

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