<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8369021, member: 116145&quot;]Elephants have around 150,000 muscle units in their trunk.&nbsp; Their trunks are perhaps the most sensitive organ found in any mammal - Asian elephants have been seen to pick up a peanut, shell it, blow the shell out and eat the nut.&nbsp; Elephants use their trunks to suck up water to drink – it can contain up to 8 litres of water. They also use their trunks as a snorkel when swimming.

(1931 International Colonial Exposition in France, Asia Pavilion Bronze Medal and 1944 Belgian Congo 50 Francs Silver - Pretoria Mint, South Africa - note the reopening of the uranium mines during WW2 led to some nice lower denomination elephant coins also being minted at the US Mint in Philadelphia for Belgian Congo).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1485121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1485122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1485123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1485124[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1485125[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
