A baby elephant has been spotted wandering around the plains of South Africa with a missing trunk.
A young elephant has been spotted in Kruger National Park, South Africa, without a trunk
Video:
It’s trunk was probably bitten off by a crocodile or a lion – or damaged in a snare, according to safari workers
Filled with more than 100,000 muscles, an elephant trunk is both powerful and dexterous
It’s essential in the animal’s survival. It’s used for eating, drinking and even breathing properly
The chances of an adult elephant surviving in the wild without its trunk are slim.
