The Trunk: A Super Tool
The Tusks: Like Big Teeth
An elephant’s tusks are like its big, strong teeth. They help the elephant dig for water or roots, fight off other elephants, and even break open tough shells to get at tasty treats inside, just like how you might use a hammer to crack open a nut.
When you watch the BBC video about these amazing parts, it’s like seeing a superhero in action, using its special tools to do cool stuff every day.
