Most herbivores (plant eaters, like the elephant) possess teeth adapted for cutting and tearing off
plant materials. However, except for the very young or infirm, elephants always use their trunks to
tear up their food and then place it in their mouth. They will graze on grass or reach up into trees
to grasp leaves, fruit, or entire branches. If the desired food item is too high up, the elephant
will wrap its trunk around the tree or branch and shake its food loose or sometimes simply knock
the tree down altogether.
The trunk is also used for drinking. Elephants suck water up into the trunk (up to fifteen quarts
or fourteen litres at a time) and then blow it into their mouth. Elephants also inhale water to
spray on their body during bathing. On top of this watery coating, the animal will then spray dirt
and mud, which act as a protective sunscreen. When swimming, the trunk makes an excellent snorkel.
