The trunk is an extremely important part of elephants. It helps elephants grasp food and small objects, absorb water, and even use it to communicate with other animals or fight off parasites. However, this baby elephant lost his trunk during his first years of life.

It’s an elephant in Kruger National Park, South Africa. In a video posted here on September 1, viewers can see a baby elephant with its trunk gone.
Staff at Kruger National Park say they don’t know how the elephant carries its trunk. However, the chase could be a lion or crocodile attack. In addition, the elephant can use its trunk when entangled in a trap.
“There has been a case of crocodiles latching onto and tearing off the trunk of an elephant while the elephant was drinking water. “And that may be the reason why this elephant is not an important part of its body,” the staff here said.
In fact, an elephant without a trunk can hardly survive in the natural world. An adult elephant needs about 190 liters of water and 90 kg to 220 kg of food per day. Without a trunk, all that food and water cannot enter the elephant’s body. Furthermore, the absence of a trunk puts the elephant at risk of straying from the herd and eаe to рedаto.Therefore, the staff at the National Park are quite worried about the fate of the little elephant.
Despite the fact that it lacked a trunk, the adult elephants around it did not seem to notice it but were very concerned about this young elephant.This can be a good sign that the baby elephant can get help from other animals if it runs out of food, gets lost, or is attacked by wild animals.
Before this image, many netizens couldn’t help but feel sad: “It’s just a baby elephant, but it has no part of its body like this,” and “Fortunately, its fellows are always there to help.” “Don’t do it,” “I’m not sure if I’ll be able to grow up to be self-sufficient,” “Elephants are intelligent; even when they see their fellow humans’ flaws, they still help them,” but humans are not appreciated by anyone.to that”.
It is not clear if staff at Kruger National Park have taken any steps to help the elephant. But in 2016, a baby elephant named Mosha was fitted with a prosthetic trunk after the elephant accidentally stepped into a minefield on the border of Thailand and Myanmar. This action will almost certainly give this baby elephant a new lease on life.
