Learn More About The Elephant Trunk Drawing
Elephants are amazing animals. One of their most remarkable features is their trunk. You can learn how to draw an elephant trunk using this easy, step-by-step animal drawing tutorial.
The trunk is the elephant's nose. They also use it as a tool to bring water to their mouths and to manipulate objects.
Contrary to popular belief, the trunk is not a straw - it is more akin to a spoon that can hold three gallons of water. They can also use it like a snorkel to breathe while they swim!
The trunk is strong, with more than 150,000 muscles. They can lift around 600 pounds or more. It is also extremely sensitive at the tip, just like your fingers.
Elephants can use the tip of the trunk to carefully pick up tiny objects.
