The Elephant can use it's trunk in various ways.
Smelling; To smell of course! Elephants have a keen sense of smell. They use their trunks to find food and water. Yes, you read that right. Elephants are able to smell water that is up to 12 miles away. This ability comes in handing during the drought season.
Aside from food, elephants are also able to smell others. They use their sense of smell to find their offspring, mates and other family members. When it comes to avoiding danger, elephants can also smell predators and dangers like land mines.

Snorkeling; It is no secret that elephants like to swim. However, did you know that elephants use their trunks like snorkels? Other elephant trunk facts are that they curve their trunks when the water is too deep in watering holes and lakes. This allows them to breathe while they cool off in the water.

To show affection; Elephants are emotionally intelligent animals. They are able to display and show affection to one another. In fact, elephants use their trunks to show compassion or comfort to another elephant. They typically stroke the head and back of other elephants with their trunks. The baby elephants even have the tendency to suck on their trunks in order to comfort themselves.

Feel their way around; As stated above, elephants use their trunks to grab items but also to guide them. Elephants do not have the best eyesight, so they use their trunks to feel their way through forests. This allows them to use their trunks to rip branches and knock down trees to make paths in the forest.
