ELEPHANT’S ENCYCLOPEDIA : TRUNK 2

ELEPHANT’S ENCYCLOPEDIA : TRUNK 2. An adult Asian elephant is capable of holding 8.5 L (2.2 US gal) of water in its trunk. Elephants can suck up water both to drink and to spray on their bodies. They will also spray dust or grass on themselves. When underwater, the elephant uses its trunk as a snorkel.
