Elephants are amazing all around! And their trunk is no exception. Thanks for adding this info, Dewi.Dewi wrote:Stunning pics with lot's of interesting behaviour Mel.
Did you know that an Elephant has 40,000 muscles in it's trunk which are divided into around 150,000 individual units.
No wonder they are so flexible.

We were there when the elephants of Addo had their annual General Assembly....there were at least 70 of them at Hapoor Dam

Glad you lot also like your ellies
Let's move on with some other Icons of the Addo - the dung beetle
One working hard, the other one supervising
And even worse: One working hard, the others fooling around. Not sure what them two were up to.
